"Allegoria del Museo Clementino" is a fresco by the German artist Anton Raphael Mengs, painted circa 1779. The work is located in the Vatican Museums, specifically in the Museo Pio-Clementino, which is dedicated to showcasing ancient Greek and Roman sculpture. The fresco is an allegorical representation that celebrates the collection of antiquities and the patronage of Pope Clement XIV, under whose pontificate the museum was founded, and Pope Pius VI, during whose reign the museum was significantly enlarged and enriched.

Mengs, a prominent painter of the Neoclassical movement, was commissioned to create a work that would not only decorate the museum but also encapsulate the intellectual and cultural spirit of the Enlightenment. The fresco allegorically depicts the importance of studying the classical past and the role of the papacy in preserving and promoting the arts and sciences.

The composition of "Allegoria del Museo Clementino" is characterized by a central grouping of figures that personify various artistic and scientific disciplines, surrounded by a host of other allegorical figures and motifs that reference the classical tradition and the pursuit of knowledge. Mengs's use of clear, harmonious lines and balanced composition reflects the Neoclassical ideals of beauty and order, while his mastery of fresco technique is evident in the painting's vivid colors and intricate details.

As a significant work of art in the Vatican Museums, "Allegoria del Museo Clementino" not only serves as a visual testament to the cultural achievements of the papacy but also stands as an example of Mengs's contribution to the development of Neoclassical painting. The fresco remains an object of study for art historians and a point of interest for visitors to the Vatican, representing a fusion of artistic skill and philosophical thought in the late 18th century.
