The story of the Galleria Doria Pamphilj
The Galleria Doria Pamphilj is in a palace on Rome's Via del Corso that still belongs to the Doria Pamphilj family. Its galleries open onto the palace's grand halls.
Its most famous work is Velázquez's portrait of Pope Innocent X, a Pamphilj, and it also holds Caravaggio, Titian and Raphael.
The collection
The Doria Pamphilj collection was built up by the Pamphilj, Aldobrandini and Doria families and is still owned by their descendants. It numbers around 650 paintings, hung frame to frame as in the eighteenth century.
Its masterpieces include Velázquez's Portrait of Innocent X, a bust of the same pope by Bernini, Caravaggio's Rest on the Flight into Egypt and Penitent Magdalene, Titian, Raphael and Claude Lorrain.
At ArtLogia you can order 17 of its paintings as hand-painted reproductions, by 14 artists led by Caravaggio, Titian and Parmigianino.
