Many were paintings and drawings, but some were books, letters, etc. (not pictured). With an introduction covering several topics including Sir Charles Hanbury Williams, The Raphael copy for Northumberland House, Paintings for British Patrons, British Commissions and Contacts in Rome, and much more. WIth a chronology of Meng's life and the catalogue of works, annotated. " During his lifetime Anton Raphael Mengs (1728-79) was considered one of the most important painters in Europe, but his reputation declined with the rise of Romanticism and has only begun to recover in recent years. Born in Aussig, and brought up in Dresden, he became Principal Painter to the royal courts of Saxony and Madrid, but his main base was to be Rome. He never visited Great Britain, refusing, out of loyalty to his King, the invitations he received to come and work here. Through the diplomat Sir Charles Hanbury Williams in Dresden, Mengs was introduced to key members of the British circle in Florence, such as the ambassador Sir Horace Mann, who provided a crucial link between British travellers and the artistic circles of Rome. This was, of course, the heyday of the British Grand Tour, and in many ways, it was unnecessary for Mengs to go to Britain - Britain, in the wealthy form of its youthful aristocracy, came to him. As the Seven Years' War cut off Mengs's official source of income from the Elector of Saxony, he was probably grateful to be able to turn to the lucrative field of Grand Tour portraiture. Mengs quickly became one of the central figures of the Neoclassical 'set' that gathered round the great German antiquarian Winckelmann. His studio was open to all, and this period saw figures like Richard Wilson (a friend, whose portrait Mengs painted), Robert Adam, Allan Ramsay, Robert Wood, James 'Athenian' Stuart, Piranesi, and of course, Mengs's great rival in the field of Grand Tour portraits, Pompeo Batoni, all at work and sharing ideas and tastes. Thomas Jenkins, artist and the most famous dealer of the time, was another friend. In this intellectual climate, Mengs produced works for like-minded British patrons which were to have a strong influence on art in this country, like the enormous copy after Raphael's School of Athens for Northumberland House (now in the Victoria and Albert Museum) and Augustus and Cleopatra, (finished in 1761) for Henry Hoare of Stourhead - one of the crucial foundation works of Neo-classicism. Encouraged by Winckelmann, Mengs committed his theory of art to paper, and through works like his Gedanken uber die Schonheit, which was to be translated into every major European language, including English (in 1792), his fame and influence spread. During the long eclipse of Mengs's reputation, many of his paintings lay hidden in British collections, to survive and finally be rediscovered; in some cases these works had been considered lost. This catalogue to accompany the exhibition 'Anton Raphael Mengs and his British Patrons' at the Iveagh Bequest, Kenwood, illustrates such works and it is hoped that, as a result of it, more 'lost' works will be unearthed." -website.

About the book >.>.> This book, titled Anton Raphael Mengs 1728-1779 and His British Patrons by Steffi Roettgen, serves as a comprehensive study on the illustrious artist Anton Raphael Mengs. Renowned during his lifetime as perhaps the most famous and influential artist in Europe, Mengs was celebrated for revitalising the art world with his unique interpretations of beauty. His legacy, marked by commissions from prominent patrons and his role as Court Painter to both the Elector of Saxony and King Charles III, left a significant imprint on the artistic landscape of his era.Roettgen's examination delves into the diverse spectrum of Mengs's artistic talent. It highlights his range from monumental religious works to delicate pastels, and from elaborate ceiling fresco designs to intimate portraits of his contemporaries. The book showcases Mengs's dazzling Grand Tour portraits, particularly those commissioned by British aristocrats, illustrating how these works reflect the tastes and aspirations of his patrons. As the first major exhibition on Mengs in this country, the publication re-evaluates his reputation through the lens of these British commissions, offering a fresh perspective on his contributions to art.Furthermore, the study bears significance not only as a companion to the exhibition at Kenwood but also as an in-depth catalogue of Mengs's works. Roettgen's comprehensive analysis brings attention to the enduring influence of Mengs, whose once-celebrated status waned shortly after his death, as later commentators, including Reynolds, dismissed his success as mere prejudice towards the 'Roman School.' By re-examining Mengs's oeuvre, Roettgen provides a vital resource for both scholars and art enthusiasts interested in understanding the complexities of his artistry and his connections with British Patrons.

Brossura. Condición: new. Roma, 2025; br., pp. 96, ill., cm 20,5x25,5.(Arte e Cataloghi). In questo volume, la grande studiosa tedesca Steffi Roettgen prende in esame - critico e storico artistico - il ritratto di papa Clemente XIII Rezzonico di Anton Raphael Mengs, (Il «più bel quadro forse mai dipinto da Mengs»), oggi in collezione Fondazione Marignoli di Montecorona, a Spoleto. Sin dal Cinquecento il ritratto del papa ricopre un ruolo essenziale ed eccellente nella percezione dell'autorità e dell'onnipresenza del successore di S. Pietro. Tuttora ne danno testimonianza i ritratti della quasi ininterrotta serie della basilica romana di San Paolo fuori le mura, basati su una tradizione iconografica risalente al Medioevo. Il ritratto ufficiale era un atto programmatico sia artistico che politico. Per merito di Raffaello e di Tiziano si affermò nel '500 una tipologia per il ritratto ufficiale del pontefice che rimase valida per tutto il '600 e il '700 in modo tale da renderlo distinguibile da qualsiasi altro ritratto di un dignitario ecclesiastico o profano. Un ruolo decisivo nell'aggiornamento barocco del ritratto pontificio spetta a Diego Velázquez che nel 1650 ha immortalato Innocenzo X Pamphilj in un dipinto di straordinaria bellezza e bravura pittorica. Il famoso Anton Raphael Mengs, il nuovo Raffaello, fu chiamato dopo la metà del Settecento, a fare il ritratto ufficiale di papa Rezzonico, Clemente XIII. Libro.
