From June 2020, the Royal Academy of Arts will host a major show devoted to Angelica Kauffman (1741–1807), one of the most successful artists of her time and a founding member of the Royal Academy.
Born in Switzerland in 1741, Kauffman was quickly recognised as a child prodigy, before receiving formal artistic training in Italy. Arriving in London in 1766, she enjoyed an unprecedented career as a history painter and portraitist before moving to Rome in 1782, where her studio became a hub of the city's cultural life. The exhibition will focus on Kauffman’s work at the height of her public acclaim, tracing the life and work of this celebrated artist.
The exhibition organised by the Royal Academy of Arts, London, in collaboration with Kunstpalast, Düsseldorf.
