Description |
English: Portrait of pope Clement XIII painted by german painter Anton Raphael Mengs.
Clement XIII was of the Venetian Rezzonico family and reigned as pope from 1758 to 1769. Mengs did several versions of Clement's portrait, and this one was probably carried out for Apostolic Vicar Domenico Rossi, whose name appears on the letter held by the pope. For centuries, the blessing gesture directed to the viewer had been common in images of Christ's representative on earth. Mengs rejected the fluid brushstrokes and dynamic pictorial expressions of Baroque and Rococo art. Clarity of forms and outlines, typical of Neoclassicism, defines his manner. For more information on this portrait, please see Federico Zeri's 1976 catalogue no. 424, pp. 534-535. |
