Description
English: This copper plate by Johann Heinrich Meyer (1760-1832) and Carl August Schwerdgeburth (1785-1878) shows the fresco painted by Anton Raphael Mengs and Giacomo Casanova ca. 1758. An imitation of an ancient Roman fresco, it was created to fool archeologist and art historian Johann Joachim Winckelmann, who regarded it as an original.
