Kirsten Tambling: Sense & Sensibility
Kirsten Tambling reviews "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.
Her large expressive eyes devoutly cast upwards, as she elicited haunting chimes from a set of gradated glasses.
- In 1767, Kauffman depicted the Duchess of Brunswick in a portrait, showcasing her artistic skills.
- Her London studio was a hub for creative expression, where guests could enjoy music, poetry, and art.
