Angelica Kauffmann (1741–1807) was a pioneering Swiss painter of the Neoclassical period, renowned as one of only two female founding members of the Royal Academy in London. A child prodigy trained by her artist father, she chose art over music, traveling extensively across Europe and becoming a highly sought-after portraitist and a rare female history painter. Her style is characterized by the refined idealism of Neoclassicism—featuring classical themes, graceful figures, and subdued color palettes—often tinged with the soft prettiness of the Rococo. Stitching a Kauffmann design is an act of elegance, allowing you to recreate the noble simplicity and quiet grandeur of her mythological and allegorical compositions, transforming her historical narratives and sensitive portraits into a timeless piece of textile art that celebrates both female artistry and the beauty of antiquity.
