In the history of art, Angelica Kauffmann is one of the names that keeps returning.
The record lists Angelica Kauffmann as Swiss artist (1741–1807).
Angelica Kauffmann was born in 1741. Her recorded nationality is Switzerland.
The eighteenth century organised knowledge into academies, expeditions and collections, and turned patronage into something closer to a profession.
The record gives her occupations as painter, printmaker and artist.
An artist's reputation moves with taste, but the work stays exactly where it was left.
Her recorded fields of work are painting, printmaking and visual arts.
That the work was done from Switzerland matters. Opportunity has never been evenly distributed, and where a person is based shapes which doors open and whose work gets seen.
Angelica Kauffmann died in 1807 at the age of 66. The work outlived the arguments around it.
