Maria Anna Angelica Catharina Kauffmann

She kept a pet bird in her studio and named it after a philosopher. Kauffmann painted women as thinkers, not muses, her brush turned myth into quiet moments. If you’ve stood in the Tate Britain, you’ve walked past her large canvas of a woman holding a globe, measuring the world like it’s a recipe.

Tap that painting in Gallery Tiles and you’ll see how a Swiss artist became one of London’s most trusted portraitists in wigs-and-tea 18th-century England.
