Villa Borghese (1960) was inspired by a landscape in Rome, where De Kooning spent approximately five months during 1959 and 1960. The painting's title alludes to a famous public park, which includes a lake and several fountains. The work's Mediterranean color palette suggests the sun, sky, water, and grass that De Kooning may have remembered from his trip. The painting was not made on-site but after the artist had returned to New York, making it more of a subjective translation of his memories than a depiction of any particular view.
