This large sheet is a highly finished study for a ceiling decoration in the Villa Borghese in Rome (fig. 1). Beginning in 1775 Prince Marcantonio Borghese IV, together with the architect Antonio Asprucci, embarked on the renovation of the villa and its surroundings, a project that lasted about twenty years. Francesco Caccianiga was involved in the execution of the new wall decoration. Most of the plans, designs and documents relative to the project are today at the Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles (see Paul, op. cit.). The drawing is annotated at the foot by the architect Antonio Asprucci.
