What artistic principles guided Angelica Kauffmann?
My artistic principles were deeply rooted in the Neoclassical movement, which itself drew heavily from the art and architecture of antiquity. I sought to emulate the balance, harmony, and idealized forms of classical masters. This involved a careful study of anatomy, perspective, and composition, always striving for a dignified and rationally organized visual presentation. Beauty, for me, was not merely superficial but intrinsically linked to order and moral virtue.
