"Pope Clement XIII Rezzonico" is a notable portrait by the German painter Anton Raphael Mengs, depicting Pope Clement XIII, born Carlo della Torre di Rezzonico. This artwork is one of Mengs's most significant religious commissions and is celebrated for its refined execution and psychological depth. Painted during the pontificate of Clement XIII, which lasted from 1758 to 1769, the portrait is a testament to Mengs's skill in capturing the dignified and spiritual character of his subject.

Anton Raphael Mengs (1728–1779) was a prominent artist of the Neoclassical movement, often regarded as one of the precursors to Neoclassicism due to his adherence to the principles of harmony, simplicity, and classical ideals in art. Mengs was active in various European art capitals, including Rome, where he became a favored painter of the papal court. His work on the portrait of Pope Clement XIII is particularly noted for its clarity of form and the subtle interplay of light and shadow, which imbues the painting with a sense of solemnity befitting the pope's status.

The portrait showcases Pope Clement XIII in papal vestments, seated and exuding an aura of calm authority. Mengs's attention to detail is evident in the meticulous rendering of the textures of the pope's garments and the intricate details of the chair and surroundings. The composition and the use of color demonstrate Mengs's mastery of portraiture, as well as his ability to convey the personality and the high office of his subject.

"Pope Clement XIII Rezzonico" is not only a significant work in the oeuvre of Anton Raphael Mengs but also an important cultural artifact that offers insight into the representation of religious figures in the arts during the 18th century. The painting is often discussed in the context of Mengs's broader influence on European art and his role in the transition from the Baroque to Neoclassical styles. It remains an enduring example of papal portraiture and a valuable piece of art historical scholarship.
