Painting Description
"Portrait of Marie Antoinette" is a collective term that refers to several portraits of Marie Antoinette, Queen of France, painted by the prominent 18th-century French artist Elisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun. Vigée Le Brun, who became the official portraitist of Marie Antoinette, enjoyed a close relationship with the queen, which allowed her unique access to the royal personage. The portraits of Marie Antoinette by Vigée Le Brun are celebrated for their artistic mastery and historical significance, as they capture the queen at various stages of her life and provide insight into the royal image and fashion of the time.
Elisabeth Vigée Le Brun was admitted to the French Royal Academy in 1783, a significant achievement for a female artist in an era when women were often excluded from formal artistic institutions. Her association with Marie Antoinette greatly enhanced her career, although it also posed risks during the tumultuous times of the French Revolution. The portraits she created of the queen range from formal representations in coronation attire to more intimate and naturalistic depictions that sought to portray Marie Antoinette as a more approachable figure.
One of the most famous portraits from this series is "Marie Antoinette and Her Children," painted in 1787, which shows the queen with her three surviving children in an attempt to bolster her image as a devoted mother amid rising public criticism. Another notable work is "Marie Antoinette with a Rose," painted in 1783, which depicts the queen in a relatively simple white muslin dress, a stark contrast to the elaborate gowns and hairstyles typically associated with her. This portrait was part of a strategic rebranding effort to counteract the queen's extravagant image.
The portraits of Marie Antoinette by Vigée Le Brun are considered masterpieces of 18th-century portraiture and are held in various museums and collections worldwide. They continue to be the subject of scholarly study and are admired for their aesthetic qualities and the light they shed on the complex figure of Marie Antoinette and the turbulent era in which she lived.
