"Allegorical Study for a Memorial Print of Handel" is an artwork by Giovanni Battista Cipriani (1727–1785), an Italian painter and engraver who was active in England. This piece is a preparatory study for a memorial print dedicated to the celebrated Baroque composer George Frideric Handel (1685–1759). Cipriani's work is known for its classical style, reflecting the influence of the Renaissance and ancient art, which was prevalent in the neoclassical movement of the 18th century.

The allegorical study features symbolic elements that pay homage to Handel's contributions to music and his lasting legacy. Typically, such works include personifications of concepts such as Fame or Music, and may depict Handel himself or his works in a glorified manner. The use of allegory in memorial prints was common during this period, as it provided a visual narrative that could convey the virtues and achievements of the individual being commemorated.

Cipriani's artistry in this study would have combined his skillful draftsmanship with a deep understanding of allegorical imagery, creating a composition that both memorializes Handel and celebrates the broader cultural and artistic ideals of the time. The final print would have served as a tribute to Handel, circulating among patrons and admirers of the composer, and contributing to the posthumous reverence for his musical genius.

As a figure in the British art scene, Cipriani was a founding member of the Royal Academy of Arts and contributed significantly to the visual culture of his adopted country. His works, including the Allegorical Study for a Memorial Print of Handel, exemplify the neoclassical aesthetic and the era's penchant for using historical and mythological subjects to comment on contemporary society and its luminaries.
