Catalogue Note
This is the best-known work of Borghini, a dialogue set in a villa called "Il Riposo" near Florence. It describes in great detail the works of art in Florentine houses and churches and the society of Florentine art collectors; hence it is an important source for late sixteeenth-century Florentine art.
