The White Rose College of the Arts & Humanities at the University of Leeds and The National Trust are inviting applications for a funded studentship / doctoral award on the subject of At Home with Angelica Kauffman: The Material and Print Culture of an Eighteenth-Century Artist.
According to the project summary:
Angelica Kauffman was one of the most renowned and recognizable artists in the eighteenth century. Her oil paintings, prints, and engravings were widely reproduced for and by British consumers. This project seeks to reexamine the reproduction, retranslation and consumption of Kauffman’s visual artworks, focusing on three-dimensional, small-scale works including ceramics, needlework, textiles (embroidery and needle pictures), and fans, among others. Drawing on the National Trust's extensive collections, including print and manuscript sources, the project will show, for the first time, the rich and varied depth of Kauffman's influence on aesthetics and the domestic interior.
The studentship comes with an annual maintenance grant of £20,780 and applications must be in by 5th March 2025.
Good luck if you're applying!
