In his writings, in See also:Spanish, See also:Italian and German, Mengs has put forth his eclectic theory of See also:art, which treats of perfection as attainable by a well-schemed See also:combination of diverse excellences—See also:Greek See also:design, with the expression of See also:Raphael, the See also:chiaroscuro of See also:Correggio, and the See also:colour of See also:Titian
.
His intimacy with See also:Winckelmann—who constantly wrote at his dictation—has enhanced his See also:historical importance, for he formed no scholars, and the critic must now concur in See also:Goethe's See also:judgment of Mengs in Winckelmann and sein Jahrhundert; he must deplore that so much learning should have been allied to a See also:total want of initiative and poverty of invention, and embodied with a strained and artificial mannerism
