Pompeo Batoni is best known as the leading portraitist of Grand Tourists in Rome in the eighteenth century.

After Batoni’s death his reputation declined as other countries, notably England, produced more significant portraitists of their own. In recent years, Batoni’s reputation has been rejuvenated and the corpus of his work forms an important document of the cultural history of the eighteenth century.
