Comment on 6.1.1820
In Thorvaldsen’s time, the Borghese family’s collection of paintings was in Palazzo Borghese on the Tiber. Prince Camillo Borghese (1775-1832), who was married to Napoleons sister Pauline, sold a number of the most famous antiques to the Louvre in 1807, but the collection was later reconstructed, and new acquisitions were added.
