Details: Kauffman herself identified herself as an artist of historical themes, an unusual field for an 18th-century female artist. The historical painting was considered the most elite and lucrative category in academic painting during this period. The Royal Academy has made serious efforts to promote Kauffman to a local audience as a historical subject artist, but the local audience was more interested in ordering and purchasing her portraits and landscapes. Despite Kaufman's popularity in British society and her success as an artist, she was disappointed by the relative apathy of the British to history. She eventually left Britain and went to the continent where the historical painting was better established, respected and patronized.Historical painting, according to the academic art theory, was classified as the highest category. It required extensive knowledge of history, mythology, literature, and chronicle. It also needed an in-depth understanding of art theory and practical training, including studying the anatomy of the male nude. Most women were refused access to such training, especially the ability to draw naked models; however, Kauffman managed to cross the gender red line to acquire the necessary skills to build a reputation as a successful artist of historical painting.
