卡米洛與弗朗切斯科·博爾蓋塞親王肖像
1778
Giuseppe Cades captured these two young Borghese princes in 1778, dressed in their finest puffy, ruffled outfits. The boy on the left proudly displays a large architectural drawing of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, while his brother sits front and center, gazing directly at us with wide, curious eyes. Behind them looms a sketch of a bust labeled 'PAOLO V,' a nod to their famous ancestor, Pope Paul V, who was a major patron of the arts and helped shape the Vatican we know today. It's a charming glimpse into the privileged, art-filled upbringing of Roman nobility during the Neoclassical era.
