"Charles Towneley in his Sculpture Gallery, 1782," is a notable oil painting by prominent 18th century German neoclassical painter, Johann Zoffany (1733–1810). The painting is a detailed representation of the British collector and antiquarian, Charles Towneley (1737–1805), amongst his wide assortment of classical sculptures in his Pall Mall residence in London.

Created in the genre of conversation piece, a form of portrait painting that depicts a group in conversation or in some activity, this artwork vividly showcases Towneley in his natural habitat, surrounded by his treasured classical artifacts. Notably, Towneley, who was the antiquities collector for the British Museum and had sponsored various archaeological digs for classical art, is portrayed contemplating a small statue, showcasing his passion and dedication towards his collection.

The painting underscores the extent of Towneley's collection - incorporating prominent sculptures like the Discobolus, the Towneley Venus, and the Apollo Belvedere. The riches of his collection are juxtaposed with everyday items like manuscripts and furniture, providing a glimpse into Towneley's daily life.

The painting, apart from its artistic merit, offers a historical perspective into the taste and connoisseurship of the late 18th century British aristocracy, underlining their fascination with classical antiquities. Zoffany's excellent skill in capturing minute details in the diverse range of textures adds a layer of richness to the artwork. Thus, this painting is studied not just as a major work of Zoffany, but also for insights into British cultural history. The original painting is held at the Towneley Hall Art Gallery and Museum in Burnley, Lancashire, England.
