With @johndavidgusman in the #etruscanroom of @homehouselondon discussing #AngelicaKauffman & the feverish enthusiasm for her exquisite beauty & prodigious talent which had long gripped #georgianengland before she eventually arrived in London in 1766. Launched into Mayfair society by Lady Wentworth in She quickly became the fascination of #Mayfair which Was the beating heart of fashion art and new ideas in Regency London #JoshuaReynolds was utterly infatuated by her charms #beauty & #talent but it was #QueenCharlotte who instantly scooped her up at the famous #Mayfair #Eccentricssalon hosted by the celebrated of “Queen of the Blues” on #PortmanSquare ensuring she became the toast not only of London but across all #BritishSociety As a #foundingmember of the @royalacademyarts on #Piccadilly she ignited the flame of #classicalpainting im the UK which Was still stuck in a timewarp - with artists still painting #portraiture & #landscapes as they had done for centuries Angelica was the toast of Regency Mayfair with everyone vying for access to her There was a time when every house on Bond St had a wall or ceiling painted by Angel & to this day her works are oft discovered behind panels in St James's & Mayfair townhouses (at Home House) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnrzMi5H_-I/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1i6pz2u065ymf

Sitting in the #EtruscanRoom @homehouselondon with @daniellismore one is cast back to #Regency London of the 1770's where next door at 22 Portman Square the illustrious salon of Lord Byron's friend Elizabeth Montagu whom he declared "Queen of The Blues" gathered the greatest #thinkers & #artists of the age. From the peacock-feather lined walls of her drawing room at 22 Joshua Reynolds & his remarkable relationship with the #Mayfair #Eccentric #angelicakauffman were the artistic darlings of Regency London after "Angel"as Reynolds referred to her, introduced #classic painting to England. Angel first burst onto the stage of #Mayfair #Salons having being brought to #Mayfair from Italy by Lady Elizabeth Wentworth like a sort of #grandtour souvenir ... however Angel's genius was quickly recognised & she was taken under the #royal wing of #QueenCharlotte. Angel became the main instigator in transforming #burlingtonhouse on #Piccadilly into the #royalacademy. By the time she departed london & returned to Rome she had painted over half the walls & ceilings of Mayfair. Sadly much of her work disappeared due to reconstruction & the war nevertheless her effect on London society. She is one of only two artists ever to receive a state funeral when she died in Rome.
