With pieces on show by the likes of Caravaggio, Raphael, Titian, Velázquez, and Bernini, the collection attracts visitors from around the world. Caravaggio's "Rest on the Flight to Egypt" is on display in the gallery, as well as Velázquez's famous "Portrait of Pope Innocent X", which is of Giovanni Battista Pamphilj (of the Pamphilj family), or 'Pope Innocent X', as he was known, and is widely considered to be one of the finest portraits ever created.
