Enjoy a lunchtime reset with this close look at Angelica Kauffman.
Franny Moyle is the acclaimed author of ’Mrs Kauffman and Madame Le Brun’, which reclaims the legacies of these two painters. In this session, we focus on Angelica Kauffman and her inspiring life. Discover her groundbreaking work, her influence and exceptional international success – in art and in 18th-century European society.
Celebrate this virtuoso Swiss painter, who greatly contributed to placing women on the art historical map, at this short talk. If you have a little extra time, you’re warmly invited to stay for a brief Q&A.
Find a copy of 'Mrs Kauffman and Madame Le Brun' in the National Gallery shops and online.
