Technical virtuoso Pompeo Batoni was a sought-after portraitist who rendered likenesses of royalty as well as upper-class Englishmen taking their Grand Tour of Italy. Here we see Batoni’s depiction of Sampson Gideon, Member of Parliament and son of a wealthy banker, with Jacob Chambers, these two gentlemen made an excursion throughout Italy seeking artifacts of the Roman Empire. Art Chateau c.2015.
