Palazzo Barberini
-
The Barberini sold their palace to the Italian State in 1949 to house part of the National Gallery, which was founded in 1893 with the purchase of the Corsini Palace. The number of pictures in the collection now exceeds 1,700 and has been added to through the acquisition of collections from Rome’s noble families over the ensuing years. Among the most famous works are Filippo Lippi’s Madonna and Child , the controversial La Fornarina (supposedly Raphael’s mistress, probably painted by Giulio Romano, his favourite pupil), and Caravaggio’s Judith and Holofernes .
