Albani, Cardinal Alessandro (1692–1779). Italian churchman, collector, and art patron, a dominant figure in the art world of Rome for half a century. He came from a distinguished family that included several cardinals and also Pope Clement XI (his uncle), but he led a worldly life and was notorious for his lucrative dealings in the art market, not hesitating to have
Antique sculptures heavily restored if it made them sell better. His own superb collection (much of which is now in the Glyptothek at Munich) was housed in a sumptuous villa he had built in Rome; the decoration included
Mengs's famous ceiling painting
Parnassus (1761), one of the key works of
Neoclassicism.
Winckelmann was Albani's friend and protégé.
