Many
of the sculptures are displayed in the spaces they were intended for,
including early works commissioned Gian
Lorenzo Bernini by his first patron Scipione. Napoleon
Bonaparte's sister Pauline married into the Borghese family and Antonio
Canova's half-nude reclining portrait of her as Venus
Victrix takes pride of place in one of the galleries. A famously controversial
woman in her lifetime, when asked how she could pose for the sculptor
wearing so little, she reputedly replied that there was a stove in the
studio that kept her warm. |
