Abstract

The painting discussed in the article was brought to Poland from Italy by general Władysław Zamoyski as “Radziwiłł’s entrance to Rome” and its title hero was first identifi ed as “Cardinal Jerzy Radziwiłł” in the inventory of 1924. According to the author, pace Baglione and Manilli, the thesis about Antonio Tempesta’s authorship is unlikely. The parts of the sky and the ruins of Rome may be attributed to Agostino Tassi. A group of people in the lower part were painted by at least two artists who are difficult to identify but be narrowed to a dozen or so assistants of Tassi or Andrea Sacchi, who are known by name. The painting may be related to the inauguration of the pontifi cate of Paul V, Pope Innocent X or Urban VIII. It must be dated to the thirties of the seventeenth century and may have been painted at the order of the Borghese for their new villa on the Pincio. The contractor of this painting was probably the workshop of Tassi. Zamoyski probably bought it on the antiquarian market rather than directly from the Borghese, because in that case there would be no significant error in the title of the work.
