*Project requested by user/Mrmsee888
The Austrian-born princess who was to become one of the most celebrated, controversial, and tragic figures of French royal history was born in 1755. She was the 15th child in her large family, but like all her brothers and sisters she was meticulously groomed and trained by her parents to be of the highest quality. And she was. Nature had given her a natural and stunning beauty which made her valuable beyond compare, and when the time came to choose a husband for her, the crown prince of France, Louis XVI, accepted quickly.
Royalty, however, could not buy happiness, and Marie often found herself at odds with her plain-looking, socially awkward husband who also appeared to have some severe deficits in the marital bedroom, to the point where pregnancy was impossible. For the next several years, Marie unhappily endured snide and wicked remarks about her apparent infertility. Marie vented her frustration by making bitter comments about the stuffiness of French aristocracy, naming certain family members and other high members of the court--a blunder which would come back to haunt her. Nature, would, in time, grant her the children that both she and the nation were counting on, but at a cost that would affect them all.
It didn't help that Marie's mania for high fashion and fine decor cost the King over and above what he had budgeted for her in allowance, and that Marie's frilly, exaggerated costumes were making her the laughing stock of French royalty. France was losing its patience the Austrian beauty, who always seemed to be more loyal to her native Austria than to France. The French nobility was tired of being snubbed by the Queen as she preferred to spend her time with her chosen circle of friends and less with the traditions and rituals of the palace. The first smoke of the volcanic ash of hatred toward the Queen began in rumors created and spread within the French aristocracy itself, not the public, though the public soon followed the royalty's lead. The legitimacy of Marie's children were called into question, as well as her loyalty to French government. It was suggested that Marie was promiscuous with both men and women of her acquaintance, and that she secretly was supporting her native Austria with payments of French money. It didn't matter that virtually all of these allegations were fraudulent. To be named in the suggestion of them was as damaging to Marie's reputation as if they had been true. By the 1780's, there was nothing that Marie could do that wouldn't cause the public to twist her motives and spit them back at her in contempt.
Before a Revolutionary Tribunal, King Louis XVI was tried for treason and sentenced to death in December 1792. On October 14, 1793, Marie Antoinette was tried and convicted of treason...as well as for the many other "crimes" which her fellow nobles had fabricated years before and the public had subsequently believed and embellished upon. Stripped of her children, her finery, and her hair, Marie was already dying from the devastation of all her losses when she was taken to her public execution on October 16, 1793. Haggard and almost unrecognizable as France's once most celebrated beauty queen, even at the young age of 38, Marie nonetheless commanded her own space and sat straight and noble, defying the world which had forsaken her, relinquishing her last moments alive to the judgement of her Gods, not the public, who even after her death took savage delight in defiling the person they thought she was, dumping her mutilated body into an unmarked grave.
*Marie Antoinette was described by her painter as having perfect, near translucent skin, blonde hair, and a full, voluptuous figure with a generous bosom.
One more thing: Marie Antoinette helped the widows of soldiers in that she aided them financially and gave them a place to stay. Widows were the poorest of poor at that time if they had no one to support them. they would be forced to beg in the streets to survive...
One of those things the revolutionaries didn't bother to mention. Or allow mentioned on her behalf at any time.
THANK YOU. The truth needs to come out finally about these VICTIMS of Communist revolution. I think we need a serious, honest look at the poor, sad truth about Czar Nicholas and his family.
@@LukeLovesRose While I can have sympathy for Louis XVI (who attempted reforms and agreed to be a constitutional monarch) and Marie Antoinette (who for the most part stayed out of politics until the eve of revolution) did not try to suppress the revolution with violence when they could have. I cannot say the same for the autocrats who were Nicholas II and Alexandra. Of course the Romanov children were innocent but their parents certainly were not. Not with the crimes they committed against the peasantry. The other members of the Romanov were aware that Nicholas and his wife were unfit to rule yet allowed it to happen.
@@kevinkim271 Elaborate on the crimes of the Romanovs please. And site your sources please.
Luke M "cite" - sorry, can't help myself.
This is a 21st century photoshop of a 17th century photoshop.
18th Century
18th century. Not 17th
18th century !!!!
I never use photoshop, how very dare you
Yes
Dozens of portraitists painted The Queen in her lifetime. While those portraits don't agree in every detail, we can safely assume Marie Antionette looked like - well, Marie Antionette, not a cherub from a Victorian chocolate box.
We also have her death mask to compare with too
Marie von Astra pretty
Marie von Astra....i agree with you... there are hundreds of pics of Marie Antoinette... with many variations..... but from all those... certain features prevail more than others.... so the image i have of her in my head is a majority almalgamation of such features..... so although the photoshopping looks very effective and i enjoyed watching it.... the outcome is rather the acceptable image of 21st centurys idea of a good looking female face than the nearly real face of the most tragic queen of France....
And she was SOOO EVIL-looking right? lol
@@Medusa0999 explain me please!
To be honest, as a photoshop user of 15 years, I'm not seeing it. There was plenty of facial morphing, but all it really did was change her face.
This is not a reconstruction, it's a fantasy. There is, of course, a degree of interpretation to any reconstruction, but this makes no effort whatsoever to remain faithful to the features that we know, with utmost certainty, that she possessed.
What need do we have of "revealing the face of Marie Antoinette", as her faithful portrait was painted by Madame Vigée-Lebrun in the 1780s ? It is only interesting as a benchmark of methods that could be used for more ancient leaders, whose actual features are unknown (maybe Charlemagne ?)
her death mask looks like the painting before photoshop..not after
Why did you darken her skin? I'm sure she would have been pretty pissed at you for that.
CrowPowersActivate true.
Well she's not that dark and she probably could careless considering she looks beautiful on the reconstruction.
@@idontgiveafaboutyou being literally as white as the background of this comment was the goal for aristocrats in her time. Like, they used lead makeup, I have heard, they knew was dangerous even at one point just to perfect this. Having even a light tan meant you were a peasant. So no. She wouldn't want to have darker skin at all
They weren't as white as in the paintings. This is meant to make her more real, not idealistic to the beauty standards of three centuries ago
@@weeblife8657 By the 18th century although many people did aim to look very pale no one wanted to look as white as this background anymore. Looking as white as a sheet of paper was more popular during Elizabeth I time, about 200 years before that painting took place.
Your videos are really amazing. Just one little thing about this one: I know she was usually portrayed in a wig, but I recall reading that Marie Antoinette was naturally a strawberry blonde, heavy on the strawberry...in fact her hair color was once described as "carrots"...
Doesn't look anything like her. There are a couple of portraits that captured her perfectly. She had a pronounced nose.
am i the only one here who thinks she looks way more beautiful with her real face?
I'am glad my favorite queen fascinates people so much.....She was said to be beautiful though her paintings don't show her true beauty but in person she must have been quite a spectacular vision...I could never imagine sitting with her. GOSSIP AND HATERS KILLED HER.
I think the paintings are pretty close to reality as it is.... And she had a very sweet face. Not what you'd expect from a wise, classy woman who says, "Excuse me. I did not see you" to her executioner AND "Let them eat cake." The lies about these people BY THE VICTORS are outrageous
Sad but true...
if you want to see what Marie Antoinette really looked like, google the Kucharski portrait of her. He painted a couple and there is one that captures her perfectly.
Madame Tussad had a standing commission to make the death masks as they were highly prized at the time. A souvenir of supreme power of the time. It was of course her rather strange occupation in wax that prompted her commission. It also meant she had to be present at every execution where such a souvenir was required. She disliked it immensely but was working for a man that demanded she be the one to do it. She was still a teenager I believe. It contributed to her legend as we know it.
How can she be your "ancestor" when she had no grandchildren?
This is - without doubt one of your most beautiful creations. So soft. So subtle. So absolutely amazing. I've already watched it three times!
I still love your work,there are others doing this type of thing however they do nor understand how the artist of those subjects often did a stylized version of these portraits.They try to make the large eyes,and the now mouth normal,which it was not .Your work is still superior !
Sorry: I don't 'get' it.
Photoshop is a digital tool of manipulation and is entirely subjective.
If this had been about evaluating all of her portraits and removing the somewhat manneristic lengthening of the body popular with artists at the time, it may have some credibility, but this sadly lacks any.
I know what you're saying; but this is still really great. The painting is not all that realistic; but the photoshop is. Jude has done reconstructions from Roman busts and even ones from Egypt - check them out - fabulous.
Noelle Jordan So real time (as in, she sat for them) paintings of her aren't "realistic" but paintingshopping, er, um, I mean photoshopping her likeness hundreds of years later from a painting _is_ realistic?? How do you figure?
I have watched this one again and again - and each time I still sit motionless - just watching the beautifully subtle changes reshape her face. AMAZING work, sir - and the music is perfect for the occasion. Lovely.
I still cannot fathom how you can brutally execute such a beautiful human beign like Marie Antoinette. To hell with Robespierre,Marat and Hebert.The only Jacobin which still had some dignity in it's blood and deserved the sympathy of the people should've been Georges Jaques Danton.
The people had enough of the monarchy being in control, spending all the money while taxing the poor, (monarchs didn't have to pay taxes)
Robespierre was a strange man. He had a thing for Marat and was an atheist.
***** Yeah now we have the communist jews turning us into NWO slaves, dumbing down all races!
***** Actually, the super majority of the people still wanted a Monarchy. Only the Jacobins, who were a small group, were wanting some form of different government. It was the frivolity of the Aristocracy they were tired of.
Nolan Johnson
That's what confuses me most, I thought only a real small percentage believed in the monarchy
Marie Antoinette was famous for her luminous pink and white porcelain skin, something highly prized at the time. She was intuitive, spacey and child like, but comported herself with appropriate dignity. This portrait is definitely a modern "incarnation" of her - a tan and pragmatic business woman, in a sense, what she would be if she lived now.
All right, you're related, but it's inaccurate to say that she's your ancestor. Ancestor only applies to direct descent.
King Richards facial reconstruction showed that he looked a lot like his portrait and that it wasn't stylized. Marie Antoinette was always described as beautiful so artists probably didnt up her beauty that much. Her eyes were likely what they are in the picture and we just have a completely different style of beauty today.
Amazing, talented... Just wonderful to see something 'shabby' come to 'life'. Thanks for sharing!
According to eye witness accounts Marie Antoinette was at the time of her unjust and hasty execution, emaciated, and look much older than 37, due to her incarceration and all the other horrors she was faced with. The death mask I've seen does not show any signs of an emaciated face or one that aged prematurely. Which makes me believe that these supposed face masks of Marie Antoinette are rubbish. The sketch of her minutes before her death shows quite clearly what her appearance was, poor thing.
She looks much better after, but it's silly to tag it as revealing the face of Marie Antoinette when it's impossible to do so.
This seems so realistic, I love it! I literally hate how they painted people back during this era... the faces all look similar - oval, big round eyes, blurry blob-ish features. What you've done here actually looks like a human being! :)
Jean Étienne Liotard did a portrait of her in a pink dress, although some people say it might be her sister. But his works look so natural and real compared to others that I think it might be closest you'll get to her face.
Yes,I love it too! could never think they all looked so hideous
You “literally hate” art history? 🤦♂️ can you paint better?
@@lefoxmethodstudiouk It's his/her opinion
I never knew Marie was so beautiful. Very nice job!
She wasn't. They've just touched up her portrait to give her a 21st century look.
.../... , she was not : just think of her as a "sycophantic" bucaneer ; paatchuuuuuúmm .Et voilà .
At the St.Francisco Museum of CATHOLIC SANTA - INQUIRIES of Portugal l saw a picture of her at the left side of the $panish - : TORQUEMADA : and those saying EVERYTHING about her ( and how horrible she really was in reality , that history bookleets won't tell about .).
Incroyable, magnifique, merci on en veut encore et encore😊💗👏👍
Sorry but this is just your personal idea of her. She was known to have a big lower lip (much bigger than the upper lip and a distinctive feature of her family), a huge forehead and distant eyes. For these "bad qualities" her mum the empress was a bit concerned. However M.A. could be admired for her long neck and a very delicate and charming way of moving and walking. This comes from what many people of that period (including family members) wrote about her. :)
silviaesilvia Actually her eyes were said to be very attractive. But, yes she had the thick lower lip. I never read of her forehead being "huge."
I read a very interesting and detailed biography: "Marie Antoinette" by Antonia Fraser. I would recommend it if you are very interested in the subject :)
silviaesilvia Yes, I've read that book too. I think as far as physical appearance, it's difficult to gauge. From Antonia's book she says that MA certainly when she was younger appeared beautiful or gave off the illusion of beauty. This can be very true. Someone can have facial features that aren't perfect but off-set that with charm and personality. After the misfortune fell, MA aged terribly and her hair turned white.
+silviaesilvia... /... Nope : A. Frazer is a professional romanticizer and a novelist. She is paid to be politically correct and very 'human'. Nazi propaganda is her best trick and only scope. She won't tell you the real History back in the days since louis XIV. 'till républic. Nor even [ what ] the real meaning for the French word : RATATOUILLES , stands for back in the days when there was no food available to the French Le Sans Culotts or the real meaning for the sentence lady marie antoinette said , when some officials reported to her , people were starving on the streets ( l quote) ... " _ Let's them eat SWEETBREAD" .... .... ( not sugared bread ).
Manuel Luis You can believe whatever you so choose. You don't care about the truth only in making Marie Antoinette a heartless cruel villain so it's useless to have any discourse with you. MA was a scapegoat for the French Revolution. It's unbelievably sexist how some people blamed her and still want to blame her for all the ills of the monarchy. She was raised in a sheltered environment and then sent to Versailles at 14. All the excesses were already part of the court at Versailles. Yes, she fell into spending lots of money on clothing and luxuries. For Gods sake she was a teenager thrown into a strange and often hostile place. No one ever spoke of her being cruel or not caring about people starving. She never made any statement about letting the poor eat bread or anything else. This was fiction, a fiction you choose to continue for some strange reason in this present day well over 200 years later. Marie Antoinette's last years were anything but pleasant. If she didn't always do the right things as the queen, she certainly was punished and mistreated in the end.
I like that it is "more humanize" representation of M.A .... incredible 👏
Madame Tussaud knew Marie Antoinette (she was King Louis XVI's sister's art teacher). There are wax recreations of Marie Antoinette, Louis XVI, and their children at Madam Tussaud's wax museum in London. The "Chamber of Horrors," that has since closed due to complaints, showed the wax creations of death masks Madame Tussaud was forced to make during the French Revolution (Marie Antoinette, Louis XVII, Robespierre, etc). So if you really want to know what Marie Antoinette & her husband looked like, in life and in death, it's as easy as a google search.
I actually was lucky enough to rub the shoulders of the likes of Claudia Antoinette Gomez, the great great great great great granddaughter of Marie Antoinette, who just so happens to live in a French town of Guatemala 🇬🇹.
Impossible, as only one of Marie Antoinette’s children survived to adulthood and died childless. Marie Antoinette had no grandchildren, so this person is either deluded or fraudulent.
tipical "before and after" video ad of any cosmetic/makeup shop
Keep in mind famous painters often made whole groups of women somehow look nearly identical in their paintings. So
She was as beautiful as memories tell, indeed. My queen forever.
Just takes the face from flat to high def. Wonderful job!
I still think this is my favorite ,she is shown in her real beauty !
Maybe a younger version. But there were some very skilled portrait painters back then, especially for royalty and the rich. Why would one paint a non accurate portrayal?
.../... , you've never heard about photo - shop . Havê you ? Paint - artists were really experts , in this sort of trick : they called at time : TROMP d'OEIL . Nowadays we say photo - shop . And the goal is to lure you into thinking that an old building front of a vintage - house , seems to you very modern art building in the picture ... burt it's just a trick
Probably to hide flawed features
+seattwa I just want to add that paintings of royalty and nobility were often smudged like this because they wanted to be seen a certain way or rather appear closer to the beauty standard of the day. That's actually why they hired very skilled portrait painters; because they could smudge on the expert level. Even some of George Washington's portraits and busts are smudged. If the artist didn't paint them a certain way, then that artist wouldn't have had much of a career.
To flatter the powerful.
Keep in mind Marie Antoinette was married off as a child.

Teen* If you started puberty you were considered as adult.
I would love to see Axel von Fersen
According to the biography from Antonia Fraser, Antoinette did have the Habsburg jaw; the effect gave her a pout that can be seen in sculpture. She hated it because it added to her reputation as a haughty disdainful woman.
I keep coming back to this portrait. So beautifuly done. And now I own the music, as well as this portrait as a print, Thanks for making this, and so many other images of your work, available. That was a GREAT idea!
In my youth I sketched Marie Antoinette many times, but I missed this portrait.
Awesome work! Would it be possible to do one of Livia Drusilla?
Marie- Antoinette come back !
Très chic! I love the dove gray! What a stunning portrait.
Thank you! As always I saw she has a unique beauty. Thank you for the treasure !
She must have gone on holiday in sunny Spain in the finished portrait lol
No, you're not. I think her real face is stunning. It shows just why her allure was so powerful.
What gorgeous eyes !!!!
Nice job. Interesting tidbit: She was born the day after the Lisbon earthquake, Earthquake Nov. 01- Marie Nov. 02, 1755.
Brilliant and fascinating! I'm planning to paint a portrait of this Queen myself, and this wonderful restoration of her face, which your genius and science have created without use of the portraiture conventions of the time (accenting some features and minimizing others according to fashion) will be of enormous help to me! Accuracy is paramount to me, as much as possible, in creating historical portraits, and your work is a superlative resource for learning. A thousand thanks to you, Ms. Ludwig!
Considere la nariz prominente y labio inferior caido propio de los miembros de la casa real austriaca.
Beautifully rendered. The music is perfect. Love this.
This is not reconstruction. It is just giving her a more 21st century appearance.
You understand the difference between your mother and your aunt?
You're completely incorrect about the death masks. We even know who cast hers.
incredible work; stumbled across your site, will definitely return. the evolution of the face is stunning, and as a history buff, most intriguging!
Also, her brother Joseph the 2nd created hospitals, asylumsetc for the people which were a wonder at that time and were followed by other countries about 100 years later. Very progressive for the time.
She WAS as beautiful as they said she was. 😍😍😍
why do all the painting portraits of past royal everywhere make their eyes huge . bigger than could possibly be . iv always noticed that . i would like to know what they really actually looked like . i cant be the only one .must have been what they thought was beautiful back then but its not real .
Photoshop . Never heard of it BEFORE ? Or ' TROMP d'Oeil' ? you can go see the real bitch at Madame's Tussaud wax Museum in Paris , taken a few minutes AFTER she lost her head . THE REAL THING .
OPS !!!!! I said ' bitch ' to her highness .My bad sorry : l should have said , instead : PERIPAPÉTICIENNE . A much more fine French model , more suitable to her magesty .
janice sanderson the painters of this periods use to make the eyes of kings and queens bigger.... because the big eyes gives more intensity and essentially shows the power of the governor and he sees everything.you may find such examples in many paintings even in their clothes as in a portrait of queen Elizabeth the first who has in her dress painted eyes and ears to give the message i can see and hear everything.
So.. I also draw and paint.. and my worst mistake in every portrait I draw are the eyes.. I can’t explain why, but I always draw them bigger than they really are
And I try to make them smaller.. they look now better then many years ago.. but still bigger than in reality
I was hoping it was all the sisters and brother. :sigh:
There are many portraits of Marie Antoinette made by several painters. She obviously does not look like this drawing.
Mrs Campan, of whom I speak later, considered the portrait, by Adolf Ulrik Wertmüller in 1785 (which is exhibited at Stokholm - Nationalmuseum Sweden), of Marie Antoinette with her two eldest children in the gardens of Versailles, as the best portrayal.
About her education and personality it is enlightening to specify this : She lived during her childhood in Austria and that's probably important. But she did not even speak german. It is sure. The many letters between her and her mother empress of Austria are written in French. I own a book that includes these correspondences. Madame Campan (book : "Marie Antoinette intime") who was her first maid, tried to give her some German lessons. She gave up because Marie Antoinette was not interested.
It has been said that Marie Antoinette had more French roots than her husband the King. His mother was Archduchess of Austria, the mother of his father was Polish (Marie Leszczynska, Queen of France).
María Antonieta, como todo miembro de la familiar real austriaca tenía nariz aguileña, nariz digamos prominente q se puede apreciar en algunos cuadros de la época, y el q resalto más ese detalle el q dibujo de perfil q realizó el artista David cuando ella era llevada a la guillotina, ahí se aprecia los razgos más reales de M.Á. sin maquillaje ni sombreros tampoco pelucas extravagantes. M A. era una mujer bien a la moda, super acicalada, elegante, un referente de la moda; no podría afirmar q fuera hermosa, tal vez simpática y elegante.
You can make one of Louis XVI or another of marie antoinette when was a child
There is a lot of disagreement on how severe Marie's "Habsburg" deformation actually was. In the eyewitness sketch of Marie awaiting the guillotine drawn by Jacques-Louis David, her lower lip is more prominent than her jaw, which supports a section of the community's assertion that her deformation was certainly notable, but not severe. In matching the jawline in relation to David's sketch, I managed to miss the importance of the prominence of the lip, which is why this depiction is so "mild" .
If only they had cameras back then
i really love your work specially with the Pharaohs i always
wondered what my grands looks like as modern people thank you rasha from egypt
"I would like to speak to a manager"
Wow what a wonderful video! All your videos are great!! THEY nake me dream...i love them
Can u create Marie Antoinette again but with a portait with her children?
nah, the photoshop altered her real features. the painting is more realistic and without the "embellishment" You have to look other paintings from the same time to realize this
Read my article, 'Marie Antoinette: History's Fortean Queen' at PublisHistory and learn how the future Madame Tussaud captured her likeness in wax after she was decapitated.
You do wonderful work! I think Marie Antoinette bears a striking resemblance to Juliette Lewis (or the other way around) in the lines of her nose, jaw and cheek. I like seeing these old historical representations (which were not entirely accurate, the artists had to make them more fashionable for the times) turned into a modern concept. I would like to see Marie with "normal" hair.
I wonder: she was sent to the cemetery as soon as she was executed. How could they get a death mask? When? Who? I saw Mme. Tussaud was figure but I cannot imagine where the masks come from... Any help?
Please be kind, she asked.. And you were... She's beautiful!!
She was beautiful !
Ah; poor Lady! Put into an environment you didn't understand, spoiled and unprepared... Lived at the top for a while, then had the rug pulled out from beneath your feet in the most unimaginable and horrid fashion... your children taken from you and made to hate you by people of Dark souls...And people who claimed to care for others treated you in the most horrid fashion imaginable... Then beheaded, to thrill the mob. Noble Lady; I too am a human and possess faults and failings! But, where I to have a "church" you would be one of my "saints!" Anyone who cares about anyone, or someone... would not have saddled you with the miserable and unimaginable lot of suffering they inflicted upon you! I feel your pain, and I bless you throughout Time!
May Quan Yin and the Boddhisatvas comfort you in the misery that evil people made you endure, noble fellow person! I love you; you are as my mother! Blessings, Peace, and Love from on high to you and yours! I'm sure you found your next self in a much higher plane of existence than this demimonde of evil-doers!
An admirer, who saw you on the road to Valence.
Wayne Hill Are you sincere? This is very sweet, unique, touching.
Great imagery & pathos. I like it.
Okay.... somebody needs to stop sniffing their markers.
She looks more pretty after the process than before. She really was beautiful. Plz could u do King Charles II???
Well done!
Nope. Study her portraits painted while she lived, not one that was painted long after her death.
she actually looks Austrian after the reconstruction.
She was of Austrian birth.
How do Austrians look different from the French in terms of physical, particularly facial features? I'm curious and somewhat confused because it seems like Europeans look the same to me. Sorry for my ignorance.
Beautiful work! :) Marie Antoinette is a very beautiful woman! I hope you don't mind me asking, but what's the name of this piano piece? It's absolutely beautiful and I happen to play piano and want to learn how to play this on the piano.
Ok, so apparently, far too many people here didn't bother to actually comment on the artwork presented. Instead, you see the taking of opportunity to voice political opinions, and in some cases, pretty poor understanding of history and even less of the human condition. I however, would like to say that this ART is spectacular work. Slightly inaccurate, perhaps, but spectacular nonetheless. As an artist, I can't help notice that some of the anatomical positioning (and perhaps bone structure too) changes as the image develops. The problem with repositioning is that the end result doesn't present the true portrait, but an idealized version. If idealized is the artist's goal, then this is totally achieved. Even so, the work is certainly skilled.
shyewolf I'm an artist too, but I'm pretty sure everyone could see the anatomical positioning and bone structure change. It was a pretty huge part of it.
CrowPowersActivate Huge part of what? Not sure how that spawned all the political comments.
Carrie Hunter A huge part of the reconstruction. I wasn't even talking about the politics.
CrowPowersActivate Oh right. I agree. I was mostly commenting that at the point in which I had made this comment, far too many were making comments completely unrelated to the artwork. Insofar as the artwork, IF it were an idealized version, then the artist did a great job. If it was supposed to be a historical reconstruction, it falls short. Art in the eye of the beholder and all, I can appreciate both directions, though I personally would go for the real thing.
Carrie Hunter I completely agree. There are videos in which political discussion would be far more welcomed and appropriate, but the art was the main subject of this video.
Salut !!! A tous les Francophones qu' sont en train d'y naviguer à cet endroit !!
Merci Monsieur💙
If she looked close to what your Photoshop work created then she was a beauty.
I'm sorry I ever made a comment. At the time I made this comment I was just learning about this woman. I'm sick of people prejudge ing me. So cool it. Like I said I went to a crappie school. We didn't study this stuff .
One possible flaw: Marie Antoinette´s lower lip was far more evident than her upper lip. In fact, it hung. It was the one feature that most artists tried to ignore or disguised somehow. It can be more appreciated in the marble busts of the queen than it is on paintings.
Your work is lovely, but the photoshopped version doesn't look like her. Her features were softer and her eyes were more round. You took too many liberties with your imagination.
Whenever somebody refers to this particular queen as "Marie," it broadcasts their ignorance of the subject. Marie Antoinette was never known as, nor ever called "Marie." In formal documents, she was "Marie Antoinette." And among close friends and family, she was "Antoinette." So if you're going to call her "Marie," than thanks for letting the rest of us know that you don't know anything about the woman.
Beautiful music!
I am curious about why you "shrank" her hair? Women in the French court of the time used all sorts of pads, appliances, and hair pieces to make "enhance" their hair and even had to kneel on the floors of carriages to avoid disturbing it.
It's an interesting picture but scary at the same time
I don't know much about her, but I think she was a beautiful girl...
She was Gorgeous
I've seen her death mask and even after the reconstruction she was quite plain by today's standards. The French did not trust her for she was not French and France was at war with Germany.
Holy Roman Empire*
She was beautiful! Please make one of Louis XVI?
Awesome!!! Now, give her a modern long hair style in her natural color, please.
Isn't there a wax figure of both her and Louis head in the Madame Tussauds in London?
Yep
Yes head's But in London with bodies and there children and in vienna only Marie Antoinette with a rose☺
