Brief thematic insights into temporary exhibitions and the Borghese collection
Francesca Cappelletti – Poesia e Pittura nel Seicento – Marino
The Director of Galleria Borghese Francesca Cappelletti guides us through the discovery of the exhibition “Poetry and Painting in the Seventeenth Century. Giovan Battista Marino and the Marvelous Passion.” Organized into five sections, the exhibition begins with Marino’s poetic works in relation to the masterpieces of great Renaissance and Baroque artists, exploring the deep connection between art and literature. The exhibition concludes with the most significant legacy of Giovan Battista Marino’s artistic passion: the discovery of Nicolas Poussin. A path that brings together the timeless masterpieces housed in our Galleria, heart of Cardinal Scipione Borghese’s collection, with Marino’s “La Galeria”: a collection of 624 poetic works inspired by an equal number of artworks.
