Tommaso Maria Conca's Drawing with the Chariot of the Sun: A Cosmological Scheme for the Borghese Family

This essay examines a large drawing attributed to Tommaso Maria Conca (1734–1822) preserved in the Special Collections of the Getty Research Institute. While the drawing has traditionally been related to the late 18th‐century refurbishment of the Casino Borghese in Rome, the author proposes a different original location—the urban palace of the Borghese family—and a new iconographic interpretation, substantiating at the same time the painter's authorship. Particular emphasis is given to the drawing's sophisticated iconography, which reflects Conca's renowned literary and antiquarian accomplishment in its references to established cosmological themes, to previous commissions of the Borghese family, and to celebrated antiquities displayed at that time in the Casino.
