Description

Angelica Kauffman's remarkable life is told in this engaging novel by Miranda Miller. A true story of perseverance and artistic triumph, it follows Angelica as she overcomes obstacles to become one of the greatest artists of the Enlightenment Period. Born into poverty, Angelica rises to international fame through her paintings and drawings of prominent figures, including Antonio Canova and Goethe. Yet, despite her success, she faces scandal and hardship, particularly when a young woman named Lucia arrives at her Rome studio, pregnant and in need of refuge. Miller's intricate fictions bring this fascinating story to life, shedding light on the challenges faced by women artists during this period. A gripping and thought-provoking tale of one woman's journey to greatness.
