Painting Description
"Self-portrait" by Élisabeth Vigée-Lebrun is a notable artwork by the prominent 18th-century French painter, known for her exceptional skill in portrait painting, particularly during the reign of Louis XVI. Born in Paris in 1755, Vigée-Lebrun became one of the most sought-after portraitists of her time, gaining membership to various art academies and receiving patronage from Marie Antoinette herself.
This self-portrait, painted in 1790, is one of the numerous self-representations Vigée-Lebrun created throughout her career. It showcases her at the age of 35, during a tumultuous period marked by the early stages of the French Revolution. The painting is remarkable for its direct gaze and the confident posture of the artist, reflecting her self-assuredness in her artistic abilities and her established position in the art world. Vigée-Lebrun's mastery in the use of light and texture is evident in the delicate rendering of her attire and the lively expression on her face, which conveys both poise and introspection.
This self-portrait not only highlights Vigée-Lebrun's technical prowess but also serves as a personal statement of her identity as an artist during a time when female painters were not easily accepted in the male-dominated art academies. The work is celebrated for its historical significance and its role in challenging the norms of its time, offering insight into the artist's life and the broader social context of the late 18th century. It remains an important piece in the study of European art history and the progression of women in the arts.
