Om målningen
The Immaculate Conception by Anton Raphael Mengs, an eighteenth-century painting, belongs to the Louvre, Paris. It probably repeats a now-lost devotional composition made for Charles III of Spain. Painted on walnut, the panel measures 90 by 66 cm. It remained in Mengs's studio at his death in 1779 before passing to his friend and biographer José Nicolás de Azara. On display in room 718.

Meeting Johann Joachim Winckelmann
At the end of 1755 Mengs met the archaeologist and art historian Johann Joachim Winckelmann, who soon became one of his closest friends and opened his eyes to a new understanding of ancient art. Winckelmann strongly shaped Mengs's views on painting: in his work Mengs turned from the fashionable Rococo to early Neoclassicism.
