"Richard Wilson 1714-82" is an oil on canvas portrait by the prominent German painter Anton Raphael Mengs, depicting the Welsh landscape painter Richard Wilson. Painted in 1752 during Mengs's stay in Rome, the portrait captures Wilson at the age of 38, a period when he was transitioning from his early career as a portraitist to becoming a pioneer in British landscape painting.

The painting is significant for its representation of Wilson, who is considered one of the founding figures in British landscape art and is often referred to as the "Father of British Landscape Painting." In the portrait, Mengs portrays Wilson with a thoughtful expression, possibly reflecting his contemplative nature and the intellectual approach he brought to his work. The composition and use of light showcase Mengs's skill in capturing the character and essence of his subject, which was a hallmark of his portraiture.

Mengs was a leading figure of the Neoclassical movement and was highly regarded for his art theory and practice. His interaction with Wilson, among other artists of the time, highlights the vibrant artistic exchange occurring in Rome during the mid-18th century, which was a hub for artists from across Europe. The portrait not only serves as an important visual document of Richard Wilson but also as an artifact of the cultural and artistic milieu of the period.

The painting is held in a notable public collection and has been the subject of art historical research, which has explored its context, creation, and impact within the broader scope of European art history. It is often referenced in discussions of both Mengs's portraiture and Wilson's influence on the development of landscape painting in Britain.

The "Richard Wilson 1714-82" portrait by Anton Raphael Mengs remains an important work for its artistic merit and for its role in documenting the life and appearance of a key figure in the history of British art.
