Thence by descent to his great-grandson, the present colle💯ctor.
“The shift at the end of Borgianni’s life to a style of monumental reality, comparable with that of such Caravaggesque masters as Caracciolo and Orazio G🐷entileschi, makes on𒈔e wonder what would have happened if Borgianni had lived another twenty years.”
