Description

Élisabeth Vigée-Lebrun (1755-1842) was not only the rare woman of her time who integrated herself into the French Royal Academy of Painting, but also beloved portraitist to the aristocracy. Her paintings are testament to a key period of history: she was appointed painter and friend to Marie Antoinette before the French Revolution, and took flight across Europe before returning under the reign of Napoleon, all the while continuing to paint. Self-taught, Vigée-Lebrun knew how to get the best from her models, mastering painting effects to perfection and making use of a delicate and refined style.

Author Biography:

Vigée-Lebrun (1755-1842) published her memoirs, titled Souvenirs, in three volumes between 1835 and 1837. In them we discover the exceptional life of a precocious painter who witnessed the beginnings of the French Revolution, lived under both the Empire and the Restoration periods, and passed away during the July Monarchy at the age of eighty-seven. Compelled to leave France following the Revolution, she charmed the European aristocracy while enduring strong personal problems. A remarkable life story told first hand by one of the most important painters of her time
