Commentaries

Thorvaldsens værksteder i daværende Vicolo delle Colonnette, jf. referenceartiklen Thorvaldsens små værksteder ved Piazza Barberini.
Villa outside Porta Salara, built by Cardinal Allessandro Albani (1692-1779), who patronized the neoclassical art critic Johann Joachim Winckelmann. The house had a large collection of antiques, catalogued by Winckelmann, part of which was taken by the French in 1798-1799.
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.
