Zeuxis Selecting Models for His Picture of Helen of Troy - Angelica Kauffmann
“Angelica my plaudits gain,
Her art so sweetly canvas stains
Her dames so gracious, give me such delight
But were she married to such gentle males
As figured in her painted tales,
I fear she’d find a stupid Wedding Night”
- Peter Pindar, “Odes to the Royal Academicians”
