The sculptor Alessandro Algardi, who received the commission instead of Borromini, preferred an academic example of a "museum façade" comparable to the late Mannerist Villa Borghese, in which countless fragments of sculpture from Antiquity were displayed. It began as a villa for the Pamphili family and when the line died out in the eighteenth century, it passed to Prince Giovanni Andrea IV Doria from which time it has been known as the Villa Doria Pamphili. Today it is the largest landscaped public park in Rome. ## Related artworks - [Athena]() - [Baptism of Christ]() - [Beheading of St Paul]() - [Bust of a member of the Pamphilj family]() - [Bust of a Saint]() - [Bust of a Saint]() - [Bust of a Saint]() - [Bust of a Saint]() - [Bust of a Saint]() - [Bust of Bishop Ulpiano Volpi]() - [Bust of Cardinal Giovanni Garzia Mellini]() - [Bust of Cardinal Paolo Emilio Zacchia]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
