• Resumen

  • The writer presents new information on the art collection that Corradino Orsini assembled in his modest Roman palace between its purchase in November 1593 and his death in July 1610. He discusses some biographical details about Corradino. He asserts that the discovery of a posthumous inventory, drawn up in August 1610, provides details of Corradino's small but remarkable art collection and confirms the brief accounts of Giovanbattista Cardi and Giovan Pietro Bellori, according to which Corradino commissioned paintings from Annibale Carracci and Ludovico Cigoli. He examines what the inventory reveals, and briefly considers the collection's later dispersal.
