Imens i livet hos Anton Raphael Mengs
Hele livet1741–1744
Rome with his father: antiquity, Raphael and Correggio
In 1741 his father moved the family from Dresden to Rome, where he copied works of Raphael in miniature for the Elector of Saxony; Anton Raphael stayed there until 1744, studying ancient art and the old masters, above all Raphael and Correggio, and training under Marco Benefial and Sebastiano Conca.
1745–1746
Court painter to the Saxon electors at seventeen
Back in Saxony, the seventeen-year-old Mengs was appointed court painter (Kabinettmaler) to the Saxon electors in Dresden.
1746–1749
A second stay in Rome: conversion and marriage
Arriving in Rome for the second time, Mengs converted to Catholicism and married the Roman Margarita Guazzi, who had sat for him as a model in 1748.
