Extract

The Palazzo Odescalchi, a portion of which has served as the residence of the British School for a period of some fourteen years, is among the more remarkable of the palaces of Rome, both for its architectural qualities and its historical associations. Situated as it is in the centre of the city, close to the Piazza Venezia, on the west side of the spacious Piazza dei SS. Apostoli, and opposite the famous basilica which gives its name to the square, it is yet a little removed from any of the main lines of traffic, which pass close by it without actually touching it, and has thus preserved much of that quiet and stately beauty which must inevitably be in some measure sacrificed in the rush and bustle of modern life.

It has seemed to me that it would be a pity that the School should sever its connection with this splendid building without some attempt being made to give a short historical account of it, and I have therefore put together the material that I have been able to collect. My sincere acknowledgments are due to Prince Odescalchi, to Don Fabrizio Colonna, Prince of Paliano, and to Prince Chigi for their kind permission to examine the archives of their respective families, in which, however, there are unfortunately a number of lacunae.

The last remains of the arch disappeared in 1523 (Lanciani, , Storia degli Scavi, i. 217Google Scholar). One of the reliefs found on that occasion is perhaps still preserved in the Villa Medici (to the references given by Hülsen, add C.I.L. vi. 31, 383Google Scholar, and Jones, Stuart in Papers of the British School at Rome, iii. 271Google Scholar).

The houses of the Mancini dei Lucci probably did not extend beyond the area of the Palazzo Ruffo, inasmuch as the small street to the west of it, running southward from the Vicolo del Piombo, still bears the name of Vicolo Mancini.

There is a document in the Archivio Colonna (III. A, A. 202) which records a settlement arrived at on June 2, 1581, between Giulio Cesare Colonna of Gallicano and Clarice Anguillara Colonna, both in her own name, and as guardian of her daughters Giulia, Placidia, and Flaminia, and of Martio Colonna, husband of the first named. In this it is decided that la Casa di Roma con il Giardino, et le casetie contigue, et tutte le loro pertinentie, siano, et spettino di pieno dominio al detto Sig. Giulio per scudi sessantamila. But this cannot refer to the Cardinal's palace.

page 59 note 6 Palatia Procerum Romanae Urbis, 1596, signature F2, which shows Maderna's late Renaissance façade rather conventionally, with the main door at one side of it.

page 59 note 7 See Hülsen, Nos. 84–87. The 1664 edition of Tempesta (from which our illustration is taken) has had the legend Pal(azzo) de Gallicano added, but the representation of the palace has not been altered.

The views of De Veen (1593; Hülsen, No. 83), and Maggi-De Schaichis (1603; Hülsen, No. 98) show the block entirely occupied by small houses.

page 59 note 9 It is a small square structure, open on all sides, used as a kind of summer-house: it is a familiar feature in the late Renaissance palaces of Rome.

page 64 note 2 The legend to this view states that the plan and the interior are the work of Carlo Maderna, who must therefore have been responsible for the previously existing façade.

Bartoli, Mem. 57 (Fea, cit. 236). ‘In making the foundations of the new fountain on the same side as the new porticos (i.e. in the Piazza di S.

page 69 note 1 For the family of the Odescalchi, who came from the Valtellina, see F. de Bojani, Innocent XI. (1910), Chap. I. Don Livio was the son of the Pope's eldest brother, Carlo Odescalchi, who had married a lady of the Cusani family. (Bojani, p. 6.) After the death of his father in 1673, Livio was adopted by his uncle, who summoned him to Rome. See the interesting account with full documentary evidence given by Bojani (p. 8 f.; p. 16 ff.), of the relations between uncle and nephew.

Romae, MDCC xlvii. Prostant apud Venantium Monaldini Bibliopolam in Via Cursus. The frontispiece, engraved by Karl Gustav von Amling in 1702 (the year of his death), represents the young King of Sweden, according to Sotheby's catalogue; Meyer treats it as an unknown portrait. He also engraved a portrait of Don Livio Odescalchi. Thieme-Becker, , Allgemeines Lexikon der Bildenden Künstler, i. 409Google Scholar; (Th. Hampe, art. ‘Amling’); Meyer, , Allgemeines Künstlerlexikon, i. 639Google Scholar, Nos. 89, 113. [A short, but good account of the collection is given by Furtwaengler, , Antike Gemmen, iii. p. 408Google Scholar, who states that a first edition of forty-three of Bartoli's prints was issued soon after the Duke's death in 1713, with Amling's title-page of 1702. No sort of order was observed in the arrangement of the plates, either of the earlier edition or of that of 1747, and there was no text.]

page 69 note 5 The small bronze Venus figured on Plate 35 of the Museum Odescalchum, and repeated from that illustration by Clarac 610, 1354 (327, 5 R) has disappeared (Hübner, p. 13). It was originally in the collection of the antiquary Borioni. Among the other bronzes reproduced in Mus. Odesc. were two statuettes of Priapus; Reinach, , Répert, ii. 73Google Scholar, 7, ii. 74, 2 (see also Bonner Jahrb. 27, Pl. 2, No. 3, p. 56); a so-called ‘Genius of Plenty’ or ‘Vertumnus’ ibid. ii. 47, 7; also group of bull and bear, ibid. ii. 737, 6; a bust of Zeus with winged thunderbolt (Museum, Pl. 33); a bust of Serapis (ib. Pl. 34) and a number of reliefs with sacred subjects belonging to bases or altars. The present where abouts of these pieces is unknown.

page 69 note 6 There is a catalogue of the coins printed in Doc. Ined. iii. 293 sqq. which served for checking the collection when it came into the Vatican.

page 70 note 1 The gem is published in the Museum Odescalchum, Pl. 15, with the inscription Olimpia & Alexandra.' Subsequently various other interpretations were proposed which are fully enumerated by Furtwaengler, op. cit. text to Pl. XLIII. 2. Visconti, E. Q. (Icon. Grecque, iii. p. 204Google Scholar, Pl. 53, No. 3), however, maintained the Alexander and Olympias theory, which was also supported by Furtwaengler, and now seems generally accepted. The latest discussion is by J. J. Bernoulli, Die erhaltenen Darstellungen Alexanders des Crossen, 1905, p. 126 ff. The cameo, a large sardonyx in three layers, is held by Furtwaengler to be only very slightly inferior in quality to the cameo with the same subject in Vienna.

page 73 note 1 Elba is an obvious error in Hübner's text. Innocent XL's sister had married one of the Erba of Milan; for the subsequent relationship see Bojani, p. 5, note 3.

page 73 note 2 So Ponz, , Viage de España (1781), x. p 118Google Scholar, quoted by Hübner, Antike Bildwerke in Madrid, p. 14. As Michaelis (Ancient Marbles in Great Britain, p. 66) points out, Winckelmann (in a letter to Mengs of Nov. 18,1761, reprinted in Opere di R. Mengs, Rome. 1787, p. 420) states the price at 51,000 scudi (about £11,500) and Fea, Storia delle Arti di Disegno, ii. p. 38Google Scholar) at 25,000 doppi, or nearly 75,000 scudi (about £16,800).

The following numbers in Hiibner's Antike Bildwerke in Madrid can be identified (and further study might well reveal more) as having belonged to the Odescalchi collection from the inventory already cited. The paragraphs of the inventory are not numbered, but the following arbitrary numbering may be of use as a guide to the reader. It did not seem worth while to repeat the whole text of the inventory; this I reserve for a later occasion.

The descriptions in Roma Aniica e Moderna, 1745, ii. 140 (= 1750, ii. p. 277) and also Venuti's account (Roma Moderna, ed. 1767, 8VO, vol. i. p. 255) are quite inaccurate. He begins by copying some phrases from the Roma Moderna of 1708, p. 381, attributing the statues in the courtyard to the remains of the Chigi collection, and then proceeds to describe as still existing in the upper rooms numerous statues which had already been conveyed to Spain, again copying the description already cited.

The same is the case with the account in the 1763 edition of Titi's Studio di Pittura (ed. 1763) p. 316, which was also revised by Venuti.

page 74 note 1 The lettering begins at the southeast angle of the courtyard, near the entrance. Those in the courtyard, with the exception of k. and l. have been placed there since 1881. The descriptions of the statues were to have been revised and completed by Mrs. Strong, who, however, owing to a somewhat severe accident, was unable to see to the matter. Both Mrs. Strong and I here desire to record our gratitude to Mr. Harold Parsons and to the Russian archaeologist, Dr.E. de Mercklin, not only for kindly undertaking the revision and supplying references, but also for carefully verifying on the originals the statements in Matz-Duhn and in the text of the Einzelaufnahmen. To Mr. Parsons, moreover, we owe important references for the subsequent history of certain of the pictures.

page 75 note 1 All the statues in the courtyard are over life size, but are so much restored that measurements are entirely out of the question. The weathering in some cases makes it difficult to control the restorations.

page 77 note 2 Beschreibung Roms, iii. 3, 178; a good account of the Orléans Collection is given by Waagen, in his Treasures of Art in Great Britain, II, p. 485 ffGoogle Scholar. Many of the Odescalchi pictures were engraved in the large and costly work Galerie du Palais Royal by Couché and others (1786–1806): the important work on the Orléans Collection by Stryenski, Casimir. La Galerie du Régent Philippe Due d'Orleans (Paris, 1913Google Scholar) to which M. S. Reinach kindly draws my attention, is not at present accessible to me.

page 78 note 1 Pinarolo adds that one of them represented Leda. See Antonio Allegri da Correggio, by Corrado Ricci (trans. Simmonds), London, 1896, p. 314. ‘Both pictures, the Danaë and Leda, were at Stockholm in the middle of the seventeenth century. Mentioned in the inventory of Christina's collections, 1652, which is preserved in the Stockholm library. She carried the Danaë, Leda, and a copy of the Io to Rome, with many other pictures, and left them on her death to Cardinal Decio Azzolini. His nephew, Marchese Pompeo, sold them to Don Livio Odescalchi, Duke of Bracciano, from whose heirs they were bought by the Regent d'Orléans.

‘The narrow bigotry of his son Louis condemned them as obscene; his uneasy scruples were fostered by his confessor, the Abbé of S. Geneviève, who persuaded him to destroy them. A knife was driven through that flesh to which a supreme act had given the very semblance of life, and the fair heads of Leda and Io were severed from their bodies.’ Charles Coypel, keeper of the gallery, saved the fragments. At the sale of Coypel's collections in 1752 they were bought by Pasquier. On his death shortly afterwards, they were acquired for Frederick the Great by the Comte D'Epinailles. In 1806 they were carried off to Paris by Napoleon, but were restored eight years later, and in 1830 were placed in the Berlin gallery, where they still remain. The head of Io was repainted by Prudhori; that of Leda by Schlesinger.

‘The Danaë, which had escaped the ferocious prudery of Louis of Orleans, passed to London with the rest of the family collection, and was then sold to the Duke of Bridge water. In 1816 it was bought by Henry Hope for £183. In 1823 it returned to Paris, where it was finally sold to the Princess Borghese. The Princess took it to Rome, and placed it in her famous gallery, of which it now forms one of the chief ornaments.’ The Danaë is the only one of Correggio's mythological pictures remaining in Italy.

page 78 note 2 Evidently the ‘Madonna del Passeggio,’ now Bridgewater House, No. 37 (Stryenski, Cat. No. 125). It is worth mentioning here that the predella of the ‘Colonna altar-piece,’ now in the Metropolitan Museum, N.Y., was sold in 1663 to Christina of Sweden by the nuns of Sant' Antonio in Perugia. The predella came into the possession of Cardinal Azzolini at her death; then passed to Don Livio Odescalchi; then to the Regent d'Orléans. It consisted of five panels: (1) ‘Christ on the Mount of Olives,’ now in the possession of Lady Burdett-Coutts. (2) ‘Christ bearing the Cross,’ Lord Windsor. (3) ‘The lamentation over Christ,’ Mrs. Gardner, Fenway Court, Boston; (4 and 5) ‘S. Francis of Assisi and S. Anthony of Padua,’ Dulwich College. (For these notices see ‘Raffael’ in Klassiker der Kunst series, p. 223; Stryenski, Cat. Nos. 131, 132, 130, 128–129.)

page 82 note 1 The following is the earliest record of them known to me. At the beginning of the right aisle of the church of S. Sabina, in the pavement, is the tomb slab of Girolamo Odescalchi, merchant of Como, who died in 1518, at the age of 32, erected by his brother Giovanni Antonio. (Forcella, , Iscrizioni, vol. vii. p. 302Google Scholar, No. 607).

Cf. Bojani, cited supra, p. 69, n. 1.

page 82 note 2 In 1549 we find the brothers Bernardo and Battista Odescalchi, still called merchants of Como, paying to the road board (maestri delle strade) their contribution occasione novi vici nuper erecti et aperti et incepti in Campo Florae, qui tendit a dicto campo Florae versus plateam Agonis. (Notaro Pellegrini in Archivio di Stato, prot. 1451, c. 8). The Via dei Baullari, which occupies this position, had already been begun in the time of Clement VII.. though it is a little difficult to see what other street than this could be meant (Lanciani, , Storia degli Scavi, ii. 10, 233Google Scholar).

It may be the third described on p. 331 of vol. iii. of the Documenti Inediti (Inv. 1713) as altra statua alta pal. 10 di passetto, nuda di petto e gambe, con un panno avvoltato di dietro, colle due braccia e testa moderna di Augusto, e il restante antico di maniera ordinaria, though the statue described in the inventory is more likely to be Clarac, 916A, 2336A (563, R), which is now in Madrid (Hübner, No. 75).
