## Commentary

The most important eighteenth-century additions to the Palazzo Colonna in Rome were completed under Cardinal Girolamo II Colonna \(1708-1763\). He commissioned Paolo Posi to build a gallery in the highly theatrical style of the eighteenth century. The present design is for the so-called Salone Turco in this new wing. The actual decoration was executed by the cardinal&#39;s favourite painter Stefano Pozzi, who worked together with his brother Giuseppe \(1723-1765\) and the landscape painter Giovanni Angeloni \(1740-1788\).
