"Portrait of Eleanor, Countess of Lauderdale," Angelica Kauffmann, C. 1780-1.
Swiss-born Kauffmann (1741-1807) became the most celebrated female artist in 18th century England.
The daughter of a muralist, she learned painting from her father as they traveled in Switzerland, Austria, and Italy, and chose art as a career rather than music (she was an accomplished musician with a superb singing voice) after a family friend warned her against the stage.
After her father's death in 1757, she moved to Milan, then traveled around in Italy, then to England in '65, where she won fame for her society portraits and history paintings. She returned to Rome to retire in '81.
Not much is known about the subject of this painting, other than she was the only child of a wealthy family, who married the Earl of Lauderdale in 1782, so it's thought this commemorated the event. It's got a nice simplicity to it; no showy jewelry or gaudy outfits, but a simple view of a young lady.

In the Louvre Museum there's a stunning marble sculpture of Cupid whose wings are carved so finely that when sunlight passes through them, the translucent stone glows like golden amber.
The statue is known as Psyche Revived by Cupid's Kiss, and it was carved by one of the greatest of the Neoclassical artists, Antonio Canova, between 1787 and 1793.

Anyone interested in seeing more of Canova's work, visit the Canova Museum in Possagno, the town in Veneto where he was born.

"Roses, Orange Blossom, and Other Flowers in a Blue Vase," Anna Vallayer-Coster, c. 1800.
Vallayer-Coster (1744-1818) was a French painter best known for her still lifes, which was not a popular genre of painting at the time...but she was, and is, noted as a very skilled artist in that school.
She achieved fame and recognition early on, at the age of 26, and her works (including portraits, florals, and scenes of everyday life as well as still lifes) were in demand by the aristocracy.
Her career was hurt by the French Revolution. A very private and hardworking woman, she was spared the anger and bloodshed, but the market for her work dried up. Reportedly she worked in a tapestry factory for a while, just to make a living, and was still painting up until a few years before her passing at 73.
Today, while not regarded as a genius,, she is admired for her ability to treat just about anything with a certain grandeur, and to make everything seem solid and permanent, even flowers.
Happy Flower Friday!

"Girl in a Red Ruff," Pierre-Auguste Renoir, c. 1896.
One of the all-time great Impressionists, Renoir (1841-1919) was becoming disillusioned with Impressionism in the 1880s. He traveled in Italy, partly to visit museums and partly seeking relief from the rheumatoid arthritis that was hindering his life at the time. (He ended up moving to the Mediterranean coast of France, hoping the warm weather would help.)
He was profoundly influenced by Renaissance art, the Neoclassicists (especially Ingres), and the Rococo school, and sought to incorporate more of their style, rather than his usual thing. It didn't entirely last; he ended up re-incorporating some of his Impressionist stylings, but the influence remained. At this point in his life, most of his work involved women in various settings and costumes.
The unidentified woman here is all fresh rosy cheeks and dewy lips, with her hair demurely up in a bun. The white outfit and red ruff makes me wonder if she's meant to be a clown or commedia dell'arte character. She's got the formal posing of a Neoclassical painting, but the colors and warm lighting, and some of the blurred lines, of Renoir's best Impressionist work.
Happy Portrait Monday!
From the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
