Description:
|
|
The Villa Medici is on the Pincio Hill in Rome, purchased by Ferdinando de' Medici as the family's seat in Rome. The villa, with its gardens, art and sculpture collections, was one of the leading sites on the Grand Tour for a century and a half. The House of Lorraine, which took the place of the Medici family in 1737, had no interest in maintaining such a costly residence, so starting in 1770, it gradually began to dismantle the villa's Classical decorative scheme, moving many of the larger works visible in this 1764 view to Florence between 1770 and 1780. [Information from museum label.]
