The Borghese Collections and the Display of Art in the Age of the Grand Tour - Carole Paul - Bog

A comprehensive study of the late-eighteenth-century redecoration of the exhibition spaces at the Borghese palace and villa in Rome and the reinstallation of the family's vast art collection, this book makes an important contribution to our understanding of Italian art at a complex moment of transition from baroque to neo-classical style, as well as to the emerging field of museum history, demonstrating that these spaces were among the most influential models of the modern art museum.
