In 2016, the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm received a bequest from the Swedish Office of Cadastral Survey. The bequeathed painting resulted to be the well-known but up to now lost portrait of the Marquis Niccolò Maria Pallavicini(1650-1714) painted by the Maratti pupil Andrea Procaccini (1671-1734) in 1707. The painting, well-known to the scholars in the field, was conceived as a pendent to the portrait of the Marquis by the very same Maratti, namely the Marchese Niccolò Maria Pallavicini guided to the Temple of Virtue by Apollo with a Self-Portrait of the Artist, part of the Hoare Collection/National Trust and displayed at Stourhead in Wiltshire. The recovery of the Stockholm portrait enables to complete the recent scholarship on Pallavicini as patron of the arts and to restore an important art work to the field of study on Settecento Rome.

This article examines Pompeo Batoni's two Sforza Cesarini portraits: the portrait of Duke Gaetano II in Melbourne and that of a woman traditionally identified as Gateano's wife, which hangs today in Birmingham. It argies that the sitter in the Birmingham portrait is not Gaetano's wife but is in fact his sister-in-law, Anna Maria Barberini Colonna di Sciarra. It also discusses the social function of portraiture within the Sforza Cesarini's extensive art collection and the likely place of Batoni's two portraits within it.

In eighteenth-century Europe portraiture held an important function within the art collections of the elite. The genre had an aesthetic purpose but also a strong social one. Portrait displays were frequent within domestic spaces that held a particular dignity but also offered public accessibility. Portraiture constituted in this sense the elite families a social guarantee and manifested the continuity of their social achievements. However, this general overview may be questioned if we move beyond the all-too-often cited examples of the monarchies of Britain and France. Instead, this article examines the social use of portraiture in eighteenth century Rome with particular reference to the structures of social manifestations of certain papal families.
