Madonna and Child in Glory,
1747
More Context
Special Exhibition
<p>The image of the Madonna and Child permeates Roman Catholic art in Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Americas. Batoni studied in Rome and based his style partly on Raphael. His own first commission was for a Madonna and Child painting for a family chapel in 1739, which won wide acclaim. A painter working in a restrained classical manner, Batoni befriended the German art historian and archaeologist Johann Joachim Winkelmann (1717–1768), and British Grand Tourists commissioned from him portraits of themselves amid the antiquities or ruins of Rome. </p>
