Angelica Kauffman

Abstract

"Internationally renowned, highly educated and very well connected, Angelica Kauffman RA (1741-1807) led a brilliant career as a pioneering history painter, an innovative portraitist and one of only two women among the founding membership of the Royal Academy of Arts in 1768. Kauffman was admired by Goethe and Herder, and her clients included queens and emperors from across the continent. Her extraordinary life and work are beautifully presented in this catalogue, which contains her finest paintings and drawings."-- Provided by the publisher.
