1993176219London/New York: Zwemmer/English Heritage/Rizzoli 1993. Hardcover. VG- light foxing to upper block. Black cloth boards with gilt lettering on spine color illustrated dust jacket 160 pp. with approximately 50 color and bw images. Catalogue from the exhibition of 61 works. 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.
