316 IV. Right Bank. ROME. d. The Lungara;
weapons of Alexander. — Exit-wall: Sodoma, Family of Darius in pres-
ence of Alexander. — The third picture, Alexander on Bucephalus, is
a poor work by an affected Roman artist of the second half of the 16th
century.
On the other side of the Lungara, opposite the Farnesina, is the
*Palazzo Corsini (PI. II, 11), formerly the property of the Riarii,
purchased by Clement XII. for his nephew Card. Neri Corsini in
1729, and altered by Fuga. In 1668-89 it was occupied by Queen
Christina of Sweden, who died here, 19th Aprii, 1689. In 1884 the
palace was purchased by government and assigned to the R. Accade¬
mia de' Lincei, or Royal Academy of Science. A doublé staircase
ascends from the principal portai to the lst floor, where the Picture
Gallery is situated (adm., pp. 126, 127). Among a great number
of mediocre and inferior works are a few pictures of rare merit.
