Scipione Borghese showed great interest in the naturalism and classicism of Emilian painting of the Carracci school. The works by Guido Reni, Domenichino, Lanfranco, Carracci that will be presented during the visit testify to the cardinal’s impeccable taste and patronage. Showing his appreciation for landscape painting and ancient fairy tales, they also reveal the collector’s notorious voracity.
