Kirsten Tambling: Sense & Sensibility
Kirsten Tambling discusses "Mrs Kauffman and Madame Le Brun: The Entwined Lives of Two Great Eighteenth-Century Women Artists" by Franny Moyle.
18th Century Women Artists
Angelica Kauffman was a talented artist and musician. She played the glass harmonica, cittern, and recited poetry to her guests.
Visiting her London studio in 1768, the Danish poet Helfrich Peter Sturz described her eliciting haunting chimes from a set of gradated glasses, with ‘her large expressive eyes devoutly cast upwards’.
- In 1767, Kauffman depicted the Duchess of Brunswick in a portrait, showcasing her artistic skills.
