Formation of the collection

Scipione Borghese

Cardinal Scipione Borghese, an important art collector, was the collection's instigator and collected the majority of the collection. Cardinal Scipione Borghese (1576 – October 2, 1633) was an Italian Renaissance prelate Art collector and member of the noble His collection was poetically described as early as 1613 by Scipione Francucci. In 1607, the Pope gave the Cardinal 107 paintings which had been confiscated from the studio of the painter Cavalier D'Arpino. Giuseppe Cesari (c 1568 - July 3, 1640) was an Italian Mannerist painter, also named Il Giuseppino and In the following year, Raphael's Deposition was secretely removed from the Baglioni Chapel in the church of San Francesco in Perugia and transported to Rome to be given to the Cardinal Scipione through a papal motu proprio, though it later had to be returned. The Deposition, also known as burial or Pala Baglioni or Deposizione Borghese, is an oil painting by the Italian High Perugia is the capital City of the region of Umbria in central Italy, near the Tiber river and the capital of the Province of Perugia

Housing the collection

Scipione developed a large estate and vineyard on the Pincian hill in Rome into a vast garden and complex of palaces, the Villa Borghese, to house his collection. He also used the Villa Mondragone for this purpose. Villa Mondragone is a patrician villa originally in the territory of the Italian commune of Frascati ( Lazio) now in the territory of Monte Porzio Catone ( Alban In 1775, in homage to his Borghese ancestors, Prince Marcantonio IV Borghese and the architect Antonio Asprucci embarked upon renovations to Villa Borghese, which had always been a semi-public museum since the 17th century. Prince Marcantonio IV Borghese (1730-1800 was a scion of the Borghese family of Rome. Integrating the sculptures of the Borghese collection and existing vast Baroque ceiling decors, they created a spectacular monument to the Borghese family (Paul 2000).
