Mary Strauss Women in the Arts Lecture
Wendy Wassyng Roworth, Professor Emerita of Art History, University of Rhode Island
Angelica Kauffman, an Austrian-Swiss artist, began her career in Italy, where her clients included British tourists who encouraged the young painter to pursue her profession in England. Over the fifteen years she worked in London, Kauffman achieved fame and fortune and returned to Italy as an international celebrity. This lecture celebrates a portrait recently acquired by the Museum. It will discuss Kauffman's life and work in England as a fashionable painter and member of the Royal Academy of Arts, a rare distinction for a woman, and how she used her talents to advantage.
This program is offered free of charge thanks to the Mary Strauss Women in the Arts Endowment.
