CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Angelica Kauffman |
 | | She was the pupil of her father, Johann Joseph, a painter of mediocre talent, who, nevertheless, had an excellent knowledge of the principles underlying his art, and initiated Angelica at an early age into the difficult use of colours. |
 | | At the same time Angelica showed a great aptitude for music and singing, and some of her father's friends strongly urged her to give up painting, but in vain. |
 | | Angelica Kauffmann, suggestive of the Reynolds manner, was highly appreciated in England. |
