Title: Angelica by Adeline Hartcup. The Portrait of an eighteenth century artist
Summary: The book follows Angelica Kauffmann’s life and career as a successful female artist in 18th-century Europe. From a young age, Angelica shows exceptional artistic talent and develops into a professional painter at a time when women faced significant barriers in the art world.
She travels widely through Switzerland, Italy and Britain, building a reputation for portraits and historical paintings. Her move to London brings her into contact with influential artists and intellectuals, including Joshua Reynolds and other members of the artistic establishment. She becomes highly respected and is one of the women associated with the founding of the Royal Academy. 
Hartcup also discusses the more difficult parts of Angelica's personal life, including her unfortunate first marriage to a man involved in a marriage fraud and her later marriage to the artist Antonio Zucchi. However, the central focus is Angelica's determination to establish herself as an artist and her achievements in a male-dominated profession.
