Full description

Add one more hour to your schedule and we will be able to delve into the vast world of Caravaggio's impressive collection either at Villa Borghese or Doria Pamphilj (and why not both if we have two hours!) and appreciate the richness and profoundness of his art. If we set aside one more hour, we can get to know Caravaggio's wonderful work better at Villa Borghese or Doria Pamphilj (or both in two hours!) and plunge into the profundity of his art. Among those great names, Santa Maria del Popolo has another still more important claim to admiration, the fine Caravaggio which it possesses: a picture full of deep pathos— the 'Crucifixion of St. Peter.' In this you see a work from the hand of one who is supposed to have studied drawing under Titian and whose efforts disappointed that master so much at an after period. A true Italian artist; but among all his productions there is not one more effective than this striking canvas.Meet with the Virgin at Sant’Agostino Church. Here you will find placed on a high altar within this old 15th century church built partly from travertine stones taken out of the Colosseum, partly oak wood — standing in pride among these two noble materials — the very remarkable painting executed by Caravaggio, called Madonna di Loreto. It was ordered in early 17th century times and represented our Lady without shoes! The people were scandalized (since then many artists do copy her footgear exactly) when it was exposed at first; now they wonder only at its beauty. And surely if any merit can be discerned by us through modern lights or long-fixed praise upon these works, here is enough displayed before an amateur's eye worthy for imitation everywhere he goes with such delightful studies as would make him painter too had he genius plus perseverance led... There are some things (and perhaps not many) that nobody will expect to find outside Rome.Discover at Galleria Borghese or Doria Pamphilj (*optional*) Other pieces by Caravaggio; various from every collection he painted them for -- some widely celebrated ones which cannot fail attracting your attention also displayed side by side: where differing excellences may afford pleasure alike they did once so much honour because nevermore likely brought together otherwise amid any changes taking place constantly around us... If we allocate more time and are able to put aside one extra hour, we will be able to take a deeper look into Caravaggio’s wonderful collection either at Villa Borghese or Doria Pamphilj (or if time allows us, both places in two hours!) and get lost into the richness of his art.
