German neoclassical painter Johan Joseph Zoffany was active in England, Italy, and India. His works are found in several museums, including the Tate Gallery, London, and New York. Today, the neoclassical style is a popular choice in a variety of decors. In addition to his native country, Zoffany painted in India and other parts of Europe.

Born in Frankfurt, Zoffany studied in Regensburg and Rome. He moved to London in the 1760s, when he shared German roots with George III.

While Zoffany was trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich, he also studied under Masucci. He was inspired by the work of Piranesi, who was a friend of his father. In Rome, he made friends with Piranesi and became a leading exponent of the Conversation Piece. A conversation piece with the Queen and her children is a perfect example of his style.
