"Portrait of the Hon. Lionel Damer" is a distinguished 18th-century oil painting by the renowned Italian artist Pompeo Gerolamo Batoni. Created in 1767, this artwork is a quintessential example of Batoni's mastery in portraiture, blending the grandeur of the Grand Tour era with the personal elegance of its subject. The painting depicts Lionel Damer, the second son of Joseph Damer, 1st Earl of Dorchester, and a notable British aristocrat of the period. Lionel Damer, known for his Grand Tour—a rite of passage for wealthy young men of the time—is captured in Rome, where Batoni was a favored artist among the British elite.

The portrait is celebrated for its meticulous detail, vibrant color palette, and the sophisticated portrayal of Damer, who is elegantly dressed in the fashion of the day, standing against a backdrop that hints at the classical antiquity of Rome. Batoni's skill in rendering textures, from the silk of Damer's clothing to the softness of his hair, alongside the accurate depiction of his features, showcases the artist's adherence to realism and his ability to capture the essence of his sitters.

"Portrait of the Hon. Lionel Damer" not only exemplifies Batoni's talent as a portraitist but also serves as a cultural artifact, reflecting the social customs, fashion, and values of the 18th-century British aristocracy. The painting remains a significant piece within Batoni's oeuvre, illustrating the artist's pivotal role in the artistic exchanges between Italy and Britain during the Enlightenment. Today, the portrait is held in a private collection, continuing to attract admiration for its artistic merit and historical significance.
