Description
Excerpt from Angelica Kauffmann, R. A: Her Life and Her Works
The issue of this book was inspired by the discovery in the Royal Academy Library of a certain ms. More fully alluded to in our introductory chapter, but it would have been impossible for the volume to have been written, had we not received a courteous permission from the authorities at the Royal Academy to make use of this document in any way that seemed fit. We desire to express to the Council-of the Academy our sincere thanks for the advantage offered to us, and to Donna Stella Vitelleschi for the pains that she has taken in reading and translating the document.
We have been assisted in every possible way by the owners of pictures painted by Angelica, and would like to mention especially the names of certain persons who have gone out of their way to render us all the aid in their power.
