"Orestes and Iphigenia at Tauris" is a notable artwork by Angelica Kauffmann, a Swiss Neoclassical painter active in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. This painting, created in 1787, is a vivid representation of a scene from Greek mythology, specifically from the narrative surrounding the characters Orestes and Iphigenia. The story, deeply embedded in the tragedies of Euripides, tells of Orestes, the brother of Iphigenia, who finds himself reunited with his sister in Tauris (modern Crimea) under dramatic and almost fatal circumstances. Iphigenia had been thought to be sacrificed by their father Agamemnon but was instead transported to Tauris by the goddess Artemis. Orestes, plagued by the Furies for the murder of his mother Clytemnestra, travels to Tauris to retrieve a sacred statue of Artemis, where he is unexpectedly reunited with Iphigenia.

Kauffmann's painting captures the emotional intensity of the reunion of brother and sister, with a focus on themes of recognition, reconciliation, and the bonds of family amidst the backdrop of myth and destiny. The artwork is characterized by Kauffmann's delicate and refined style, her use of soft colors, and her ability to convey deep emotional narratives through classical subjects. As a prominent female artist in a male-dominated field, Kauffmann's contributions to Neoclassicism and her exploration of themes from antiquity through a sensitive and nuanced lens have been celebrated for their artistic and cultural significance.

"Orestes and Iphigenia at Tauris" not only exemplifies Kauffmann's skill as a painter but also reflects the broader themes of enlightenment thought of the time, such as the value of reason, the natural goodness of man, and the importance of emotional expression. The painting is a testament to Kauffmann's reputation as a key figure in the Neoclassical movement, her mastery of the classical tradition, and her innovative approach to depicting mythological subjects with a fresh emotional depth and humanism. This work remains an important part of Kauffmann's oeuvre, showcasing her contribution to the arts and the enduring appeal of classical mythology in European art.
