About the piece
Painted in 1757 by the renowned Italian master Pompeo Batoni, this work captures Pope Benedict XIV presenting a decree to the future Duc de Choiseul. The scene is a tour de force of late Baroque elegance, featuring shimmering gold brocades, divine allegorical figures in the clouds, and a distant view of St. Peter’s Basilica under a soft Roman sky.
