Swiss Neoclassical Painter, 1741-1807 Swiss-born Italian painter. She began studying art in Italy as a child, showing great precocity, and in 1766 her friend Joshua Reynolds took her to London. There she became known for her decorative work with architects such as Robert Adam. Her pastoral compositions incorporate delicate and graceful depictions of gods and goddesses; though her paintings are Rococo in tone and approach, her figures are Neoclassical (see Classicism and Neoclassicism). Her portraits of female sitters are among her finest works.   Related Paintings of KAUFFMANN, Angelica :. | The woman take the telescope look at the opera | The Holy Family,with SS.Ildefonsus and john the Evangelist,and the Master Alonso de Villegas | Portrat Eugen sailor | Agostina Segatori Sitting in the Cafe du Tamourin | Apotheose Homers |
