"Il Tempo Che Ordina Alla Vecchiaia Di Distruggere La Bellezza" (English: "Time Orders Old Age to Destroy Beauty") is a notable painting by the 18th-century Italian artist Pompeo Gerolamo Batoni. Created in 1746, this allegorical work is a masterful representation of the Rococo style, which was prevalent in Europe during the time. The painting is a visual meditation on the transient nature of beauty and the inexorable passage of time.

In this artwork, Batoni personifies Time as a winged figure, commanding Old Age to mar the beauty of a young woman, who appears distraught and powerless in the face of her inevitable fate. The juxtaposition of youth and decay, alongside the dynamic interplay of the figures, imbues the painting with a poignant sense of drama and melancholy. Batoni's use of rich colors and delicate brushwork enhances the emotional impact of the scene and exemplifies his skill in rendering the textures of skin, fabric, and the ethereal wings of Time.

"Il Tempo Che Ordina Alla Vecchiaia Di Distruggere La Bellezza" is emblematic of Batoni's oeuvre, which often included mythological and allegorical subjects rendered with classical grace and precision. The painting not only reflects the aesthetic values of the Rococo period but also serves as a commentary on the human condition, exploring themes of beauty, aging, and the relentless march of time.

The work is held in high regard for its artistic merit and as an example of Batoni's contribution to the development of Neoclassicism, which began to emerge towards the latter part of his career. Today, the painting is part of the collection at the Galleria Nazionale di Arte Antica in Rome, where it continues to be studied and admired for its historical significance and its reflection of the cultural and artistic sensibilities of the 18th century.
