DiaporamaLuise von Mecklenburg-Strelitz, Queen of Prussia
1802
110.0 x 94.0 cm
Elisabeth-Louise Vigée-Lebrun (? – ?)
Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun (1755-1842) was a leading portraitist of 18th-century French aristocracy, famed for her elegant depictions of Marie Antoinette and other prominent figures. Her Rococo and Neoclassical style captured both likeness and personality with refined beauty.
The beauty of Queen Luise (1776–1810) is attested by many portraits and was equaled only by her keen intelligence. An avid reader and shrewd politician, she exerted great influence over her husband, Friedrich Wilhelm III of Prussia. The artist painted the portrait in Paris from an earlier pastel study done from life. The palette is pale and the technique is smooth and highly finished.
