== Legacy == [[File:Mary Tisdal Reading, by Angelica Kauffmann.jpg|thumb|Mary Tisdall, Dublin (1771–72)]] [[File:KAUFFMANN Angelica 1798 Allégorie chrétienne.jpg|thumb|''Christian Allegory'', 1798, Brest's Museum of Fine Arts]] By the time of her death she had made herself what she considered to be a renowned artist. This explains why her funeral was directed by the well-known Neoclassical sculptor [[Antonio Canova]]. Canova designed her funeral based on the funeral of the Renaissance master [[Raphael]].<ref>{{cite web|publisher=NMWA |title=Angelica Kauffman - Artist Profile |access-date=28 October 2020 |url=https://nmwa.org/art/artists/angelica-kauffman/}}</ref> By 1911, rooms decorated with her work were still to be seen in various places. At [[Hampton Court]] was a portrait of the duchess of Brunswick; in the [[National Portrait Gallery (London)|National Portrait Gallery]], a self-portrait (NPG 430).{{sfn|Dobson|1911|p=698}}{{sfn|NPG 430}} There were other pictures by her in Paris, at [[Dresden]], in the [[Hermitage Museum|Hermitage]] at [[St Petersburg]], in the [[Alte Pinakothek]] at [[Munich]], in [[Kadriorg Palace]], [[Tallinn]] ([[Estonia]]){{sfn|Dobson|1911|p=698}}{{Unreliable source?|date=February 2024}}{{sfn|''Art Museum of Estonia''|2013}} and in the [[Universalmuseum Joanneum#Alte Galerie|Joanneum Alte Galerie]] at [[Graz]]. The Munich example was another portrait of herself, and there was a third in the [[Uffizi]] at Florence. A few of her works in private collections were exhibited among the [[Old Masters]] at [[Burlington House]].{{sfn|Dobson|1911|p=698}}{{Unreliable source?|date=February 2024}} Kauffman is well known for the numerous engravings from her designs by [[Luigi Schiavonetti|Schiavonetti]], [[Francesco Bartolozzi]] and others. Those by Bartolozzi especially found considerable favour with collectors. [[Charles Willson Peale]] (1741–1827), artist, patriot, and founder of a major American art dynasty, named several of his children after notable European artists, including a daughter, Angelica Kauffman Peale.{{sfn|Dobson|1911|p=698}}{{Unreliable source?|date=February 2024}} A biography of Kauffman was published in 1810 by [[Giovanni Gherardo De Rossi]].{{sfn|Dobson|1911|p=698}}{{Unreliable source?|date=February 2024}}{{sfn|Roworth|2004}} The book was the basis of a romance by [[Léon de Wailly]] (1838), and it prompted the novel contributed by [[Anne Isabella Thackeray Ritchie|Anne Isabella Thackeray]] to the ''[[Cornhill Magazine]]'' in 1875 entitled ''Miss Angel''.{{sfn|Dobson|1911|p=698}}{{Unreliable source?|date=February 2024}} The novelist Miranda Miller published a novel ''[https://barbicanpress.com/book/angelica-paintress-of-minds/ Angelica, Paintress of Minds]'', which purports to be an autobiography written during Kauffman's last days in Rome. The Historical Novel Society says of the novel: 'Kauffmann is presented as hard-working, loyal, kind, sometimes susceptible but more determined than she thinks she is.'<ref>{{citation |last1=Mezzacappa |first1=Katherine |title=Angelica, Paintress of Minds |publisher=Historical Novel Society }}</ref> From September 2018 to August 2019, the Royal Academy hosted an exhibition by [[Sarah Pickstone]], ''An Allegory of Painting,'' that paid homage to works by Kauffman that the Academy had commissioned. Pickstone's ''The Rainbow'' reinterpreted Kauffman's ''Colour'', with ''Belvedere'' a response to Kauffman’s ''Design''.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Sarah Pickstone: An Allegory of Painting {{!}} Royal Academy of Arts |url=https://www.royalacademy.org.uk/exhibition/sarah-pickstone-allegory-of-painting |access-date=2025-02-07 |website=www.royalacademy.org.uk |language=en}}</ref> === The Angelika Kauffmann Museum === [[File:Schwarzenberg-Brand 34-Angelika Kaufmann Museum-01ASD.jpg|thumb|The [[Angelika Kauffmann Museum]] in [[Schwarzenberg, Austria|Schwarzenberg]] ([[Vorarlberg]], [[Austria]])]] The [[Angelika Kauffmann Museum]] in [[Schwarzenberg, Austria|Schwarzenberg]], [[Vorarlberg]] ([[Austria]]) was established in 2007. This location is in the same area that her father called home.
