Untitled user comment[edit]

Let me just note that Angelica Kauffmann painted a version of a Vestal Virgin [1] --66.218.17.162 05:03, 11 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

New file File:Angelica Kauffmann by Angelica Kauffmann.jpg[edit]

Recently the file File:Angelica Kauffmann by Angelica Kauffmann.jpg (right) was uploaded and it appears to be relevant to this article and not currently used by it. If you're interested and think it would be a useful addition, please feel free to include it. Dcoetzee 02:31, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Angelica = Angelika or Angelica ≠ Angelika ?[edit]

Part of the article text says she (Angelica with a c) "should not be confused with Angelika Kaufmann" who was born in 1935. Yet WP redirects "Angelika Kaufmann" to the "Angelica Kaufmann" article. Cramyourspam (talk) 19:05, 30 December 2010 (UTC)Cramyourspam[reply]

objectivity in article writing[edit]

I have a minor discrepancy with the way in which this article is written. I recommend that the writer make a few revisions to render the article more objective. While the article is concise and informative, it is important to minimize biases and maintain objectivity while writing about your subject. In doing so, the article appeals to the reader as it is more legitimate and trustworthy information. We need to uphold wikipedia's reputation as a legitimate source of information on the web.

For instance "She had a gift of grace, and skill in composition. By 1911, rooms decorated by her brush were still to be seen in various quarters."("Legacy" section of the article) may be revised to be less idiomatic and opinionated. "A gift of grace" is somewhat ambiguous and is not informative to the reader.

This article (along with many others) was partly constructed using the Encyclopædia Britannica Eleventh Edition so it is possible the flowery opinions are a leftover from that. Lord Cornwallis (talk) 23:38, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

League of God's House[edit]

Kauffman was born on the League of God's House's territory, which was not part of the Old Swiss Confederacy but was allied to it. In addition, through her father she was always an Austrian, she didn't become so later.Monumentàlinsurgé (talk) 19:34, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Why has someone, whose only contribution on wikipedia this is, changed her nationality? Baring an explanation, I'll revert to "Austrian". Monumentàlinsurgé (talk) 15:52, 14 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Count Horn[edit]

I've removed a reference to the possibility that her separation from her first husband, Count Horn, ma have led to her popularity. She separated from him in 1767 at the start of her career in England, before she joined the Royal Academy, and I have seen no evidence that this brief episode had any impact on her critical reception as a painter.

WP:BURDEN[edit]

The works of Angelica Kauffman have retained their reputation.^{[citation needed]}

I added the request for inline citation, because EB1911 states "The works of Angelica Kauffmann have not retained their reputation". The request for a citation was removed by PalettesandPearls

I have undone that removal with the following comment:

Undid revision 762069896 by PalettesandPearls It is not a misquote and you have not provided a reliable source that contradicts it. See WP:BURDEN

Yes, compared to her lifetime they certainly have not. Johnbod (talk) 03:30, 24 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
