German painter, draughtsman and treatise-writer Anton Raphael Mengs was born #OnThisDay 1728.
He was an outstanding artist of early neoclassicism. Pictures: self portrait (1755) + Diana and Helios from the boudoir of María Luisa of Parma (1765).
I took a lot of interest from the old masters of Rococo and Neoclassicism.
