Galleria Doria Pamphilj - Rome

"Palazzo Doria Pamphilj dates to the mid-15th century, but its current look was largely the work of the current owners, the Doria Pamphilj family, who acquired it in the 18th century. The Pamphilj’s golden age, during which the family collection was started, came during the papacy of one of their own, Innocent X (r 1644–55).

The opulent picture galleries, decorated with frescoed ceilings and gilded mirrors, are hung with floor-to-ceiling paintings, all ordered chronologically."

Galleria Doria Pamphilj - Rome

Diego Rodriguez de Silva y Velázquez

"This is the most important work in the collection, and is a masterpiece of 17th century portraiture. It portrays Giovanni Battista Pamphilj, Pope from 1644 to 1655, without attempting to hide his ugliness, “that satirical saturnine, coarse and hideous aspect”, which made his contemporaries and above all his enemies suspect that he had a “contumacious spirit”. Velázquez probably painted this between the end of 1649 and January of 1650. It was painted during a moment of great change in international politics: after the peace of Westphalia (1648) the papacy moved its alliances once more towards Habsburg Spain, dropping the pro-French line. An old English guidebook gives it as
Reynold’s authoritative opinion that this is 'the finest picture in Rome.'"
