He worked in Naples, Rome and Florence and produced over two hundred and fifty prints during his prolific career. By the age of twenty he had established himself as one of the premiere engravers in Europe allowing him to garner countless commissions. Like Kauffman, Morghen was also a child prodigy, publishing his first engraving at the age of twelve. Raphael Morghen received his first artistic training from his father, the accomplished engraver Filippo Morghen.
Goethe called her "the most accomplished woman in Europe". She was a close friend of Reynolds and was one of the first female members of the British Royal Academy. In 1766 she traveled to London, where she painted portraits and decorative paintings.
She assisted him by painting the backgrounds of his works, but she quickly received her own commissions and established a reputation for herself as an accomplished painter. As a child she traveled through Austria and Italy with her father, the painter Joseph Kauffman.
Kauffman was a child prodigy, who executed her first commissioned work before the age of thirteen. This impressive portrait was painted by the celebrated artist Angelica Kauffman and engraved by the renowned Italian printmaker Raphael Morghen. There is no title but rather a text in French about how virtue is instilled in children. Her children would have to have been from her unhappy first marriage. She holds what is perhaps a portrait of her second husband, Francesco Zucchi, who died in 1795. Though the whereabouts of the original painting is not known, this is clearly a self-portrait of Angelica Kauffman (seated) with what appear to be two grown children and a son-in-law. An exceedingly rare self/family portrait by Raphael Morghen after a painting by Angelica Kauffman. Collector mark bearing the initials E.O printed in blue ink on verso of sheet.
