The Galleria Borghese is the home of an extraordinary collections of large number of unique masterpieces, dating from antiquity. In 1807 nearly all the archaeological collection was sold by Camillo Borghese to his brother-in-law, Napoleon, becoming an essential part of the Louvre collection in Paris. Some of the pieces sold have been replaced by later acquisitions. The gallery is uniquely located in the middle of a park, serenely blending architecture and nature. Recent restoration, which took over a decade of work, of the build was completed in 1997. Among it collections are half a dozen of paintings by the young Caravaggio, Titan’s painting of ‘Sacred and Profane Love’. Several works by Raphael, some of the best sculpture by Bernini, include the David, Apollo and Daphine etc. It is one of the world most exclusive gallery.

3. In the middle of the 15th Century the Early Renaissance Italian painter Fra Angelico depicts the Archangel Gabriel in pink.
That pink had been traditionally reserved primarily for the rendering of flesh.
By draping Gabriel in the lushest of pinks, Fra Angelico fleshes the Archangel out as a being of body and blood, breaking down
the distinction between the divine and the temporal.
Pink humanizes heaven.
No painting embodies pink’s gradual pendulum movement from the spiritual to the secular more vividly than the French artist
Fragonard’s exuberant The Swing, painted around 1767.
Here, We’re a long way from the pink whisper of angels now.
6. Gabriel approaches Mary in the outdoor cloister,
clad in pink with multicolored wings.
Mary is seated facing him in her typical blue indicating her royal status and her purity.
Her arms are folded in the same manner as Gabriel but this gesture shows
her acceptance, humility, and submission.
This Annunciation is not Fra Angelico's first painting on that theme nor his only one
in the convent. His works are scattered across the world in well-known museums
and galleries including the Prado.
He is credited as the inventor of this type of composition, where Gabriel visits Mary
in an outdoor setting.
The way it handles space and lighting is revolutionary because it is a transition
out of the Gothic period and into the Renaissance.

8. The Angel's pink tunic is the color of human flesh, whose appearance he has taken,
but through the open fold of his robe his true nature appears:
a long sky blue robe denoting who he is and where he comes from.
Mary dresses upside down...her pink robe is telling us that she is earthly
but her blue cloak reveals that she has been clothed in the divinity of the Word
As St. Thomas says, the Incarnation makes the invisible God visible
and this required the angel to make himself visible.

a Florentine housekeeper hangs a cloth as she did nearly five hundred years ago

the most delightful and unexpected figure to reemerge is the one peeking

- a living form returned to a metaphysical background –
that master Jacopo included to add a smile to the sacred.

23. A pink curtain,
a statue of Bacchus, god of wine, who, in Renaissance art, is the leader of a mad,
drunken crew
and
a young man

The pink drapery behind him is erotic, setting off the blush on his cheek and lips.
(... a sly, ambiguous painting, depicting youth as intense and foolish, innocent
and lascivious.)

25. This male head was detached from the main part
of the painting Christ and the Adulteress by Tiziano Vecellio, known as Titian.
Reduced to a portrait, “Head of a Man” nevertheless retains great charm,
not least due to the fact that it appears to be an image of the artist himself.

the father offers cherries to his son,
the mother offers cherries to her daughter
the animated little boy, striking in his translucent blue drapery,
the woman is in the position of honor on the man’s right, which is unusual,
her pink dress has crumpled sleeves
Giovanni is much older than the Mrs.
The Mrs. has done her duty and borne two children (judging by her expression).
Giovanni is doing quite well in the Venetian merchant business.
The Voltas could afford bowls of cherries.
The Voltas do not appear to share lots o' laughs or tender moments as a couple.

Recent scholars have interpreted it as an allegory of the five senses:

and the man’s monocle she fingers (sight and touch).

58. Pink could be outrageous …
while the unconscious husband pulls the ropes of the swing,
the stealthy lover hides in the flowering bush to observe the young woman
from a privileged point of view
... in a bubbling of skirts, the slipper slipping off your foot adds a mischievous note.
… a cooler, lighter and more vivid pink !
