## Description

There are no “minor” works of art in the Borghese Gallery—only absolute masterpieces. Every room is a celebration of genius, where sculpture and painting reach their highest expression. You will admire Bernini’s most celebrated sculptures up close, experiencing their movement, emotion, and extraordinary realism from a truly unique perspective. Standing face to face with Canova’s *Paolina Borghese*, you’ll discover the refined beauty and sensual elegance that made this sculpture an icon of Neoclassicism. The experience continues with an entire room dedicated to Caravaggio, whose powerful and dramatic paintings reveal his revolutionary use of light and shadow. It was here, under the protection and patronage of Cardinal Scipione Borghese, that Caravaggio found refuge—allowing his art to flourish and forever change the course of painting.

From Raphael and Titian to Correggio and Rubens, the list of extraordinary artists represented within the Gallery is almost endless. Words can hardly do justice to such an exceptional collection—this is a place that must be experienced in person. Come and see for yourselves, and be prepared to be truly amazed.
