The Artist in the Character of Design Listening to the Inspiration of Poetry (1782). Angelica Kauffman (Swiss, 1741-1807). Oil on canvas.Kauffman boldly gazes at viewers, seated next to Poetry, calling herself Design. Embodied in this self-portrait are the characteristics of a successful artist—inspiration, confidence, accomplishment, and creativity. It is here that one witnesses her departure from the man’s world of academic painting, and establishes herself as equally talented and inspired. -- source link
