Lady Morgan was a popular novelist, poet, and travel writer and this work was the first biography of a foreign painter to appear in English. It has been criticised for its uncritical acceptance of romantic myths about Rosa, but it is a substantial work which makes significant use of unpublished primary source materials, and it was a popular work which influenced the development of Rosa's reputation in Britain.
