Itinerary
Is a large Baroque marble sculptural group by Italian artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini.
The Apollo and Daphne group, made by Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1598-1680) between 1622 and 1625, was originally leaning against the wall bordering the chapel. It was moved to its current position at the end of the 18th century, when the furnishings of the room were conceived in relation to the sculpture, as documented in a drawing by the French architect Charles Percier (1764-1838). An explicit reference to Apollo is also the colossal marble head of the deity, a work from the 2nd century BC.
Boy with basket of fruit: Merisi Michelangelo / Caravaggio
Deposition: Sanzio, Raphael - The panel, signed and dated in the bottom left-hand corner 'Raphael Urbinas MDVII.', was commissioned by Atalanta Baglioni in memory of her son Grifonetto, who was killed during a fratricidal struggle for possession of the seigniory of Perugia.

About Rome
Rome layers nearly three thousand years of history into one walkable city, from the Colosseum and Forum to Baroque piazzas and Vatican art.
Ancient Rome is still in plain sight. The Colosseum, the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill sit together at the city's heart, the Pantheon still stands with its open oculus, and fragments of temples and aqueducts turn up between apartment blocks. Across the Tiber, Vatican City holds St Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museums and Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling.
Top-ranked sights in Rome: Colosseum, Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel.
