The foremost woman artist of her age, Elisabeth Vigée Le Brun (1755—1842) exerted her considerable charm to become the friend, and then official portraitist, of Marie Antoinette. Though profitable, this role made Vigée Le Brun a public and controversial figure, and in 1789 it precipitated her exile. In a Europe torn by strife and revolution, she nevertheless managed to thrive as an independent, self-supporting artist, doggedly setting up studios in Rome, Naples, Venice, Milan, Vienna, St. Petersburg, and London. Long overlooked or dismissed, Vigée Le Brun’s portraits now hang in the Louvre, in a room of their own, as well as in all leading art museums of the world. This gripping biography tells the story of a singularly gifted and high-spirited woman during the revolutionary era and explores the development and significance of her art. The book also recounts the public and private lives of Elisabeth Vigée Le Brun, connecting her with such personalities of her age as Catherine the Great, Napoleon, and Benjamin Franklin, and setting her experiences in the context of contemporary European politics and culture. A generous selection of illustrations, including sixteen of Vigée Le Brun’s portraits presented in full color, completes this exceptional volume.

This is an autobiography and memoirs of the extraordinary life of Elisabeth Vigee Lebrun (1756-1842), one of the finest painters of eighteenth-century France. She was highly esteemed by painters at home and abroad and became one of the few women admitted to the French Academy at a time when a career as an artist was all but restricted to men. Due to this honor, she entered the higher society and got acquainted with both aristocracy and the greatest artists and writers of the day. Among the people she managed to see in her life, a reader will find Marie Antoinette, Catherine the Great, Benjamin Franklin, and Lord Byron.

Louise-Elisabeth Vigee Lebrun (1755-1842), nee a Paris, est une peintre francaise. Elle compte au nombre des plus grands portraitistes de son temps, comme Quentin de La Tour ou Jean-Baptiste Greuze. Elle ne reviendra a Paris que six ans plus tard pour entrer comme pensionnaire a l'ecole du couvent de la Trinite. A onze ans, la jeune fille quitte le couvent et vient vivre aux c'tes de ses parents. On dit qu'a l'epoque, elle se trouve laide et sans grace, mais des ses quatorze ans elle est une des plus belles femmes de Paris. Inconsolable, a la mort de son pere en 1767, elle decide de tout donner a ses passions que sont, la peinture, le dessin, le pastel. Le succes d'Elisabeth ne se dement pas. Ses portraits de femmes a la fois ressemblants et flatteurs finissent par lui attirer la sympathie de Marie-Antoinette qui fait d'elle son peintre favori. Ce sera la protection de la reine, traduite par un ordre de Louis XVI qui lui permet d'etre recue a l'Academie royale de peinture et de sculpture en 1783.

Elisabeth-Louise Vigee-Lebrun (1755-1842) was a French painter. Her style is generally considered Rococo and shows interest in the subject of neoclassical painting. By the time she was in her early teens, she was painting portraits professionally. After her studio was seized, for practicing without a license, she applied to the Academie de Saint Luc, which unwillingly exhibited her works in their Salon. In 1783, she was made a member of the Academie. She painted portraits of many of the nobility of the day and as her career blossomed, she was invited to the Palace of Versailles to paint Marie Antoinette. After the arrest of the royal family during the French Revolution Vigee-Lebrun fled France with her young daughter Julie. She lived and worked for some years in Italy, Austria, and Russia. She was welcomed back to France during the reign of Emperor Napoleon I. She visited England at the beginning of the nineteenth century and painted the portrait of several British notables including Lord Byron. She published her memoirs in 1835 and 1837, which provide an interesting view of the training of artists at the end of the period dominated by royal academies.
