Who commissioned the famous portrait of Paolina Borghese?
- One of the Galleria’s iconic masterpieces, the portrait of Paolina Borghese was commissioned by Prince Camillo Borghese in 1804 from Antonio Canova, who finished it in 1808. Camillo Borghese had married Pauline Bonaparte – Napoleon’s beautiful, vivacious sister – in Paris in 1803.
Is Paolina Borghese the new Miss Arte Italiana?
- And the winner of “Miss Arte Italiana” is—drum roll please—Antonio Canova’s Paolina Borghese as Venus Victorious! Or so, at least, is what a recent poll carried out for the Marilena Ferrari Foundation decided.
Why did Napoleon marry Camillo Borghese?
- Four years in the making, it was commissioned by Paolina’s second husband, the Italian prince, Camillo Borghese, shortly after their marriage in 1804, a union designed to help Napoleon realize his dreams of establishing a pan-European dynasty and legitimize his claims to the Kingdom of Italy.
Why was Paolina so controversial?
- Paolina owes more to the likes of Giorgione’s Sleeping Venus and Titian’s Venus of Urbino and of course David’s Madame Recamier than antique sculpture, a point not lost on the Neoclassical purists of the day who condemned the work as out of keeping with their austere classical theories. Inevitably the sculpture was going to cause a scandal.
