EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Portrait of Cardinal Scipione Borghese" by Ottavio Mario Leoni. Painted on canvas with oil, this masterpiece measures 110x84 cm and is housed in the Musee Fesch in Ajaccio, Corsica, France. The subject of this portrait is none other than Scipione Caffarelli-Borghese (1577-1633), a prominent figure during the Baroque period. Dressed in his ecclesiastical attire made of watered silk, Cardinal Borghese exudes power and authority. Despite his young age, he commands respect as a churchman and holds significant status within the clergy. Seated with a letter in hand, Cardinal Borghese's gaze reflects both intelligence and determination. As a patron of the arts, he played an instrumental role in supporting artists like Ottavio Mario Leoni. This painting serves as a testament to his influence and generosity. The vibrant red hues dominate the composition, symbolizing both his high rank within the Vatican hierarchy and his unwavering devotion to Rome. The three-quarter length portrayal captures every intricate detail of his moire-clad robes while emphasizing his strong presence. Leonard de Selva skillfully captures this iconic artwork through photography without infringing upon any commercial use restrictions. By preserving its beauty for all to admire, we can appreciate not only Cardinal Borghese's legacy but also Leoni's artistic prowess that has stood the test of time
