As well as her huge achievements and highly successful commissions.We will also discuss Mary Moser's career and commitment to the Academy, her work for royalty and her influence among other Academicians.Of course we will also explore some of the ways being female affected Moser and Kauffman's place in the RA, including ways in which they were excluded, as symbolically represented in a famous group portrait by Johan Joseph Zoffany. SourcesWomen Artists by Flavia Frigerihttps://www.apollo-magazine.com/angelica-kauffman-history-painting/https://www.royalacademy.org.uk/art-artists/name/mary-moser-rahttps://www.royalacademy.org.uk/article/ra-magazine-jenny-uglow-angelica-kauffman-raImagesInstagram - @themuseumoffemininity
