- The Life of Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun - Portrait Artist to Queen Marie Antoinette | Cultured Elegance
Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun, often known simply as Vigée Le Brun, is celebrated as a pioneering female painter, whose remarkable career offers a rich subject for history documentaries and educational content, particularly around International Women's Day and Women's History Month. As a woman artist in the 18th century, she broke through societal barriers, becoming a court painter for Marie-Antoinette at the Palace of Versailles under Louis XVI. Her exquisite oil paintings and self-portraits, some of which are housed in the National Gallery in London, stand as testaments to her skill and cultured elegance. Her work is frequently highlighted in historical documentaries, such as #PaintingHerStory and #5WomenArtists, which delve into her life and the turbulent times she lived through, from the Ancien Régime and the French Revolution to the rise and fall of the French Empire and the July Monarchy. These documentaries not only explore her artistic legacy but also provide insight into the historical context of France, touching on events like the storming of the Bastille and the infamous "let them eat cake" myth associated with Marie-Antoinette.

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING VISUALS........
Thank you!!
Wow, what a talent. Thank you for bringing this to us.
Thanks for so much for watching!
Thank you for this biographic film, and your appreciation of the works of Madame Vigée Le Brun. I’ve long admired the works of this artist and I particularly loved the superb biography of her called ‘The Sweetness of Life.’ I do recommend anyone to go and buy it as it is beautifully written, and a joy to read.
Thank you very much! I am eager to check out her biography! Thank you!
Thank you Faith for telling us about this amazing artist 👏👏 Her drapery is beautiful and on a par with Gainsborough. Joshua Reynolds couldn't hold a candle to Le Brun, IMHO.
Thank you very much!! I do agree!!👏👏
💝
they used to have good printers back then, by the look of it...
Hopefully to post on the video about Bridgeton
Great idea! Thank you!
And yet the last portrait of Marie Antoinette on her way to the guillotine was sketched by David.
