KAUFFMANN, (MARIA ANNA) ANGELICA, born at Coire, Switzerland, Oct. 30, 1741, died in Rome, Nov. 5, 1807. History and portrait painter, daughter and pupil of Joseph Kauffmann, an inferior portrait painter, who was, at that time, employed by the Prince-Bishop of Coire. From 1742 until 1757 the family lived in North Italy, at Morbegno until 1752, at Como until 1754, where Angelica, at the age of eleven, attracted general attention by her portrait of the Bishop of Como, and finally at Milan, where she copied the masterworks of the Lombard school, and painted portraits. After her mother's death, she went with her father to Schwarzenberg, Vorarlberg, his native place, and assisted him in decorating the parish church. Soon after completing this work, she returned to Italy, and having visited Milan, Bologna, and Parma, was in Florence in 1762, in Rome in 1763-64, whence she visited Naples, then in Bologna in 1765, and studied in Venice Titian, Tintoretto, and Paolo Veronese. In 1776 she accompanied Lady Wentworth to England, where she met with the most flattering reception. An unfortunate marriage with an impostor who had passed himself off for a Swedish Count Horn blighted her life, although she soon obtained a divorce. In 1769 she was elected one of the original members of the Royal Academy, to whose exhibitions she annually contributed until 1781, when she married the Venetian painter Antonio Zucchi, and went to Venice, and in 1782 to Rome and Naples, where she was in great favour with the royal family. On her return to Rome, the Emperor Joseph II. sought her acquaintance, and gave her commissions for his gallery. Her numerous compositions, although weak in drawing and often monotonous through repetition of the same subject, especially in her female figures, show in their warm colouring and graceful treatment the influence of Mengs. She painted her own portrait several times; her bust was placed in the Pantheon in 1808. Works: Twelve Apostles (fresco, 1757), Church at Schwarzenberg; Female Figure allured by Music and Painting (1760); Death of Leonardo da Vinci (1781); Servius Tullius as a Child (1784, for the Czar Paul); Hermann and Thusnelda, Funeral of Pallas (both 1786, for Joseph II.), Vienna Museum; Virgil reading his Æneid to Empress Octavia, Augustus reading Verses relating to Death
