London’s National Gallery Gifted Angelica Kauffman Painting of Achilles

Angelica Kauffmann, a trailblazing 18th-century artist, sees her significant history painting, "Achilles," acquired by London’s National Gallery. This momentous addition marks Kauffmann's first oil history painting to enter a UK national collection, cementing her legacy in a historically male-dominated genre. For emerging women artists, this is a powerful testament to enduring talent and perseverance. Kauffmann's success in her own time, now recognized centuries later on such a prestigious stage, inspires us to embrace ambition, push creative boundaries, and trust that our contributions will find their rightful place in art history. — Source: Artforum
