Batoni
Pompeo Batoni
1708-1787
Roman School. Born 1708; died 1787. A native of Lucca, he first studied in his father's goldsmith shop. At twenty he went to Rome, where he was influenced less by his various teachers than by antique sculptures and the paintings of Raphael, Domenichino, and Annibale Carracci. He remained in Rome and became a most popular portrait painter: kings, emperors, popes sat to him and especially many of the English nobility, so that his style exercised a significant influence on English painters toward the end of the century.
