 | | Besides numerous paintings in the Madrid gallery, the Ascension and St Joseph at Dresden, Perseus and Andromeda at Saint Petersburg, and the ceiling of the Villa Albani must be mentioned among his chief works. |
 | | As of 1911, Henry George Percy[?], 7th duke of Northumberland possessed a Holy Family, and the colleges of All Souls and Magdalen, at Oxford, posessed altar-pieces by Mengs's hand. |
 | | In his writings, in Spanish, Italian and German, Mengs has put forth his eclectic theory of art, which treats of perfection as attainable by a well-schemed combination of diverse excellences Greek design, with the expression of Raphael, the chiaroscuro of Correggio, and the colour of Titian. |
