Caravaggio
Scuderie del Quirinale
February 20th – June 13 2010
Caravaggio was not a prolific painter because his life often interfered with his art. Yet over the centuries many works have been attributed to him – for some these are simply too many, for others they are just dubious”.
Scuderie del Quirinale
The Scuderie del Quirinale (Quirinal Stables, also called Papal Stables) was built over ten years, from 1722 to 1732 . The Scuderie, together with the Palazzo del Quirinale (Quirinal Palace – official residence of the President of the Italian Republic) and the Palazzo della Consulta (Constitutional Court – originally a villa built upon the ruins of the Baths of Constantine and adapted by Sixtus V as a civil and criminal court), make up a stunning urban space.
