Summary

Batoni, Pompeo; Duchess Sforza Cesarini (d.1765); Birmingham Museums Trust; http://www.artuk.org/artworks/duchess-sforza-cesarini-d-1765-33287

Pompeo Batoni (1708–1787) was an Italian painter, who in his own time was ranked with Anton Raphael Mengs as a painter of historical subjects. Probably his portraits are now better known, as he invented the type of “grand tourist” portrait, very popular among the English, which shows the sitter at his ease among the ruins of antiquity.
