"Making a Prince's Museum: Drawings for the Late Eighteenth-Century Redecoration of the Villa Borghese in Rome"
2000-06-17 until 2000-09-17
J. Paul Getty Center
LOS ANGELES, CA,
USA
This exhibition and accompanying catalog will highlight some 50 unpublished drawings,
primarily from the Getty Research Institute collections as well as from various institutions
in Rome. The well-preserved drawings, mostly by father-and-son architects Antonio and
Mario Asprucci who supervised the redecoration, will be shown with other drawings and
prints that detail the development of the villa since the early 17th century.
The catalog will
explore strategies of display and the meaning in the decoration of the villa's casino. As a
semipublic museum, the Villa displayed the family's impressive collection of ancient and
modern sculpture.
