Miss Angel in Brighton: Angelica Kauffman’s work in our collections
11am
Brighton Museum & Art Gallery, Central Gallery
Free with museum admission
Royal Pavilion curator Dr Alexandra Loske showcases works in Brighton Museums’ collections by one of the leading figures in the European art world in the 18th century. Kauffman, nicknamed ‘Miss Angel’ by Sir Joshua Reynolds, was one of only two female founding members of the Royal Academy of Arts. Brighton & Hove Museums is lucky to have an important portrait in oil of Penelope (a character from Homer’s Odyssey) by her, but there is more to discover, including one of the first portraits of George IV.
