Resumen de The Collections of Cardinal Benedetto Giustiniani. Part II
In Part I of this article I published and analysed the 1600 and 1621 inventories of Cardinal Benedetto Giustiniani, newly identifying some of the paintings, and linking others more securely with Benedetto's patronage. In this second part, my aim is to make a contribution towards defining the character and taste of Benedetto Giustiniani, differentiating him from his brother Vincenzo and revealing the coexistence of different strands of motivation and intention in Roman patronage in the first twenty years of the seventeenth century.
