# Sir Gregory Page-Turner [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [BATONI, Pompeo]() - Date: 1751-1800 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 135 x 99 cm ## Commentary Batoni was known and appreciated primarily as a portraitist in his own time. He painted most of the European princes who visited Rome, as well as three popes, but he was above all in demand with the European aristocracy, particularly the British travelling to Italy as part of the Grand Tour, owing to his creation of a new type of portrait in which he depicted the sitter against an antique, classical background. ## Related artworks - [A Knight in Rome: Charles Cecil Roberts]() - [Achilles and the Centaur Chiron]() - [Allegory of Mercy and Truth]() - [Don José Moñino y Redondo, Count of Floridablanca]() - [Hercules at the Crossroads \(detail\)]() - [Hercules at the Crossroads]() - [Hercules at the Crossroads]() - [Holy Family]() - [Holy Family]() - [Madonna and Child]() - [Portrait of Charles Crowle]() - [Portrait of Charles William Ferdinand, Duke of Brunswick and Lüneburg]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
