Our subject is the Villa Borghese, a sprawling park on the north side of Rome and home to Rome's most wonderful museum, the Galleria Borghese. Unscrupulously assembled by Scipione Borghese, nephew to Pope Paul V, the art collection in the Galleria includes several of Bernini's finest statues, as well as works by Caravaggio, Canova, and the greatest Renaissance artists. In moving from St. Peter's to the Borghese, we again move from halos to nudes and so have another chance to see the dramatic changes initiated in the Renaissance.
