Portrait of Abbondio Rezzonico, Pompeo Batoni (1766)
Signed and dated 1766 on the step at the bottom right, the portrait depicts the newly appointed Senator of Rome, Abbondio Rezzonico, nephew of Pope Clement XIII. The dimensions of the portrait, measuring almost three meters by two, are proportioned to the importance of the post he held, at the time the highest civil magistracy, an appointment made directly by the pope.
