In the 1770s, a London engraver remarked, “The whole world is Angelicamad,” about a Swiss artist. This was a woman who followed her passion and was so good at what she did, that she practically became a celebrity in her day.
She was a woman in a man’s world, but she didn’t let that stop her from following her dreams and fulfilling them.
In this episode, we’re going to talk about Angelica Kauffman, and one of her most famous paintings, Cornelia, Mother of the Gracchi.
