Meanwhile, in the life of Angelica Kauffmann
The whole life1769–1782
An annual exhibitor at the Royal Academy
From 1769 until 1782 Kauffman exhibited at the Royal Academy every year, sometimes sending as many as seven pictures, generally on classical or allegorical subjects.

At the same time Kauffman began to work with engravers who copied her pictures for wide distribution, and she became a commercially successful artist.

Returns to Rome
Disappointed by the relative apathy of the British towards history painting, Kauffman left London, where she had lived for fifteen years, in 1781, after her marriage to Antonio Zucchi, and returned to Rome, where that genre was better known and enjoyed the patronage of patrons and collectors.
