KAUFFMAN, Marv Angelica, in Biography, a lady 

 who poftefled the talents and tafte of a painter in a degree very 

 unufual among her fex. She was a native of Coire, the capital 

 of the Grifons, and born in 1 740. Her father was an artill, 

 who, perceiving the extraordinary capacity of his daughter, 

 and how worthy it was of the bell cultivation, conducted 

 her, at the age of fourteen, to Milan, and afterwards to 

 Rome ; where her talents and accomphfhments foon acquired 

 her the moft dillinguillied attention. It was the happy lot 

 of lady Wentwordi, the wife of the Britifli relident at 

 Venice, to be the inllrument of conveying Angelica to 

 England in the year 1764. Here (he was received in a 

 very flattering manner ; her works eagerly fought for ; and 

 Tier company folicitcd by the learned, the great, and the 

 polite. She was honoured with royal attentions, and was 

 eileemed and courted by artills. She was very indultrious, 

 and painted the lighter fcenes of poetry with a grace and talle 

 entirely her own ; and happily formed to meet that of aw 

 engraver whofe labours highly contributed to the growth 

 and perpetuity of her fame. Bartolozzi was the man, who, 

 enjoying at the fame time youth, health, and ingenuity, 

 almoll entirely devoted his talents between Angehca and 

 Cipriani. The thiee were ei.dowed with congenial feelings 

 ill arts ; which, if not of the higheft clafs, were certainly 

 entitled to r^nk among the moil agreeable. 



After fome years reiidence here, Ihe was unhappily de- 

 ceived by a ujotmaa of a German count, who, coming to 

 England, perfonated his mailer, contrived to be prefented 

 at court, and, perfuaded Angelica to marry him. Tlie cheat 

 uas foon difcovered, and the rafcal had not the humanity 

 to endeavour to footh her difappointment by kindnef'*,. but 

 treated her very ill. At lail, hov.ever, by a payment made 

 to him of 3S0/., he was. irrfiuced to return to Germany, and 

 promifed never to molcft her any more. He kept his er^ 

 gagement ; and the lady not liearing of him for feven years, 

 and concluding him dead, th.en married an Italian painter 

 ef the name of Zucchi, and having fpent feventeen years in 

 England, returned with him to her native country, and thence

tafte ; all artifls and cognofcenti taking pleafure in beinj 

 admitted to herconvcrfazioni ; while amateurs endowed with 

 rank and wealth were happy in finding employment for her 

 agreeable talents, and in the podefilon of her works. She 

 lived to the age of 67, and then fell by a gradual decay, 

 under that power which pays regard alilie to tlie great, the 

 learned, the virtuous, and the prolligate. She died in 1807, 

 univerfally regretted, and was honoured by fplendid public 

 obfequies. 



The talents of Angelica were of a pleafing rather than of a 

 fplendid kind. She excelled moll, as was mod juilly to be 

 expected, in the reprefentalion of female chara;iers. Her 

 figures of men want form and energy, and their faces and 

 charafters are all of the fame mould. Grace, eafe, and fua- 

 vity of expredion, generally mark her women ; and to fingle 

 figures, fuch as " Calypfo watching thcDeparture of Uly ffes,"" 

 or " Penelope weeping oves his Bow,'' [he imparted the 

 true interell of the llory.
