The painting you are referring to is not a painting the of the Borgia clan. It is titled "Cardinal Bandinello Sauli, His Secretary, and Two Geographers" by Sebastiano del Piombo in 1516.
Clues that it is a minor hoax are easy to spot if you know where to look. The figure alleged to be Machiavelli looks nothing like other portraits painted during his association with these men. Furthermore, Machiavelli was only a second chancellor of common birth assign to the vatican as an ambassador. Yet he is granted more focus than Cesare, who was a duke.
Although "Pedro" is holding his gloves as a mark of distinction and "Niccolo" has his hand on a book, to denote great knowledge. "Cesare" is not even wearing his official ceremonial beret, as seen in his more famous portraits.
On top of that, the relationship of these men at that time was friendly but tense. I could understand someone snapping a group photo of these men working together. But having them sit together for hours on end for a portrait? No way.
and who would pay for it, other than Cesare, and if he commisioned a group portrait of his coworkers, then why would he be barely in frame in the background?
There are in fact two paintings of the same subject: or an origina and a copy
one , attributed to Sebasiano del Piombo is at the National Gallery of Washington, and is labelled as Cardinal Bandinello Sauli (The handbell reports the letters B DE SAULIS CAR.
The other one is in Collezione Albani in Rome (Italy) Hosted in Villa Albani-Torlonia. The painting is attributed to a "master of '500'' and the cardinal is referred as Pedro loys (Luis) Borgia: the handbell reports ADR RAON .
