Palazzo Barberini/Galleria Nazionale d'Arte AnticaSome of the paintings of the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Antica are housed in the Palazzo Barberini, the 17th-century palace named for the wealthy Barberini dynasty, to which Pope Urban VIII belonged. (Other works in the collection are on display at the Palazzo Corsini.)Works here include pieces by Caravaggio, Titian, Tintoretto, and Raphael. But even if you don't have time for the galleries, you may want to see the most opulent High Baroque ceiling of them all, Pietro da Cortona's immense Triumph of Divine Providence, depicting the glory of Urban VIII. In the galleries are fine works by Filippo Lippi, Pietro di Cosimo, Raphael, Titian, and Caravaggio, among others.
