His \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eHistory of Ancient Art\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, published in 1764, became a bedrock of neoclassical thinking about the idealized European body as well as a key reference for travelers. In his portrait, Winckelmann holds a Greek edition of Homer’s \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eIliad\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, an allusion to his knowledge of classical poetry. Mengs was a friend in Winckelmann’s social circle in Rome, where the two shared an investment in the often homoerotic themes of classical Greek art.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.metmuseum.org\/art\/collection\/search\/437067\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"The Metropolitan Museum of Art New York - Johann Joachim Winckelmann (1717–1768)\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eThe Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anton Raphael Mengs","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":49887116787955,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (25\" x 19 3\/8\")","offer_id":49887116820723,"sku":null,"price":872.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (20 3\/8\" x 15 3\/4\")","offer_id":49887116853491,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (24 7\/8\" x 19 1\/4\")","offer_id":49887116886259,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (30 1\/2\" x 23 5\/8\")","offer_id":49887116919027,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (39 3\/8\" x 30 1\/2\")","offer_id":49887116951795,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (47 1\/4\" x 36 5\/8\")","offer_id":49887116984563,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (55 5\/8\" x 43 1\/8\")","offer_id":49887117017331,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (66 3\/4\" x 51 3\/4\")","offer_id":49887117050099,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/JohannJoachimWinckelmann_1717_1768.jpg?v=1785298255","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/johann-joachim-winckelmann-1717-1768","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
