ResumoThe writer discusses four late-18th-centuy round paintings by Angelika Kauffmann which are allegories of beauty. The works are deliberately ambiguous and reflect a contemporary tension between rationality and emotion. The writer focuses on such things as Kauffmann's treatment of the themes of androgyny and the Three Graces and suggests that the works may be read not only as allegories of virtue, but also as allegories of art.
