"Baton's portraits without exception manifest great objectivity and simplicity; this was a field of painting toward which the particular nature of his talents in large measure predisposed him. In this field of painting one may compare him only with the greatest of northern portraitists; among his Italian contemporaries none was able to rival him in his cool and yet always appealing objectivity, or in his unassertive and non-rhetorical noblesse. If Carlo Maratti and Giovanni Battista Gaulli had been the preordained portraitists of the opulent, stately world of the Roman prelates, in Batoni's portraits we meet the cosmopolitan man of the 18th century, the enlightened aristocrat of bourgeois-intimate mien, the educated connoisseur of classical antiquity who had come to Rome in order to expand his intellectual horizons, as, thanks primarily to the English aristocracy, it had now become the general practice."
– Hermann Voss, from Baroque Painting in Rome (1925), revised and translated by Thomas Pelzel (San Francisco: Alan Wofsy, 1997)
