Uncovering Marie Antoinette's Secret Weapon: Le Brun's Portraits

What was Marie Antoinette's secret weapon?
In this short video, we explore the work of French painter Élisabeth Vigèe le Brun, who created a series of paintings capturing Marie Antoinette in a dress made of chemise fabric. This fashion icon was known for her extravagant style, and her dress in particular is a favorite of fashion historians and enthusiasts.

In this video, we explore how Vigèe le Brun captured the elegance and power of Marie Antoinette in this dress, and how her work has inspired fashion designers and artists to this day. Whether you're a history enthusiast or just love fashion, this video is a must-watch!

This video explores the fascinating story of Marie Antoinette, the last Queen of France, and her carefully constructed public image. From the early stages of her engagement to Louis XVI, the Queen was aware of the importance of presenting herself in a favorable light. With the help of court painter Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun, Marie Antoinette's image was brought to life through naturalistic and sensitive paintings that incorporated late Rococo pastel tones and emerging Neoclassical elements. The most famous portrait of the Queen, Marie Antoinette with a Rose, is examined, as well as an earlier painting of her in a Chemise Dress, which has a different tone and setting. This video provides a glimpse into the world of 18th-century French royalty and the power of image-making in shaping public perception.
