• Resumen

  • The article discusses Sir Richard Worsley, 18th-century British Resident in Venice, Italy, as a collector of Venetian paintings. The author uses Worlsey's papers to trace the provenance of Worsley's collection, showing that it did not end up at Brocklesby in England but was sold to Lucien Bonaparte, Prince de Canino. Specific topics addressed include Worsley's 1797 inventory of his collection, art dealer Giovanni Maria Sasso, and Worsley's collection of antique sculpture.
