Portrait Of Sarah Harrop As A Muse

Artist: Angelica Kauffmann (English, 1741–1807)

Genre: Portrait

Date: 1780–1781

Medium: Oil on Canvas

Collection: Princeton University Art Museum, Princeton, New Jersey

Angelica Kauffmann’s portrait of the renowned singer Sarah Harrop (Mrs. Bates), arguably the artist’s masterpiece in portraiture, is a rare representation of a self-made woman, the great Handelian performer Sarah Harrop (1755–1811), by one of the very few professional women artists of the period. Kauffmann, one of two female cofounders of Britain’s Royal Academy, shows Harrop seated in the wilderness, a lyre at her side and a rolled sheet of music in her hand. The mountain, Mount Parnassos, is the home of the Muses, and the waterfall issues from the Hippocrene spring. The lyre most likely identifies Erato, the Muse of lyric poetry, and while the instrument is based on ancient types, the sheet music grounds the portrait in the eighteenth century, for it is recognizably an aria from George Frideric Handel’s opera Rodelinda, Queen of the Lombards (1725).

The picture, first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1781, dates from around the time of Harrop’s marriage in 1780, a marriage to which she brought a substantial personal fortune made through her talents as a performer. The music hints at a personal meaning. The aria "Dove sei, l’amato bene" is sung not by Rodelinda but by her husband, whose longing words must have been chosen specifically for their personal significance in what was almost certainly a marriage portrait. That Kauffmann the artist was also married at about this time, to a fellow artist of more pedestrian talents, Antonio Zucchi, only deepens its resonance.

Portrait of Sarah Harrop (Mrs. Bates) as a Muse, 1780–81

Gallery Label:

This rare portrait of a celebrated soprano, by one of the few major women artists of the time, suggests an exceptional sympathy between artist and sitter. The background alludes to Mount Parnassus, home of the ancient muses, while the lyre denotes Erato, the muse of lyric poetry, which was accompanied by music. The sheet music grounds the allegorical portrait in the modern world: it is an aria from George Frideric Handel’s opera Rodelinda, Queen of the Lombards (1725). Harrop was famous for performances of Handel’s operas and oratorios, and the picture dates from the time of her marriage to Joah Bates, her mentor, who revived and promoted Handel’s works, culminating in the 1784 commemoration of his birth.

I started watching Ralph & Katie and it's so so wholesome

It's much lighter than The A Word being a spin-off romance drama about the titled newlyweds, complete with good comedy touches and it's just refreshing to see representation of people with Down Syndrome in everyday life instead of them being othered and exploited for inspiration porn.

If you want some good sweet unwind-tv I highly recommend

A heart wrapped in gold foil inside a lovely cardboard box stencilled with sunflowers for a mourning bouquet. Years of entwined pinkies summarised on tissue paper to wipe your mouth clean with at the end of the banquet. Badly summarised sentiments inside the first envelope at hand inside the scary flying metal aircraft inside the black lacquered mailbox. All of this handwritten vocabulary and this strained metacarpal tunnel they don’t take up half as much space as they did inside our heads. — Desacralise (2020) 🖼️ Portrait of Sarah Harrop as a muse (Kauffman, 1780)
