Angelica Kauffmann, 1798 - Monsignor Giuseppe Spina (1756-1828) - fine art print

Original description from the museum (© - by The Metropolitan Museum of Art - The Metropolitan Museum of Art)

The famously gifted Kauffmann was an artist, singer, and linguist, a member of Rome’s Accademia di San Luca, and a founder member in 1768 of the Royal Academy, London. Her preference was for history painting, but her wealth and fame came from portraiture. With her second husband, Antonio Zucchi, she had settled permanently in Rome in 1782. There the couple met Monsignor Spina, who became a close personal friend and was with Zucchi in 1795 during his final illness.Spina was in his early forties and recently ordained when he sat to Kauffmann, almost certainly in January of 1798. His long nose and black brows are set off by tightly curled powdered hair. He wears a magnificent lace surplice. The elegant monsignor was a confidant of Pius VI and, in the service of the church, would become a skilled diplomat.
