Madame Adélaïde de France
1791
92.0 x 82.0 cm
Elisabeth-Louise Vigée-Lebrun (Nepoznati umetnik – Nepoznati umetnik)
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.
Of the ten children born to Louis XV and Marie Leszczynska, only Mesdames Adélaïde and Victoire survived the Revolution. Unmarried and approaching sixty, the once haughty aristocrats emigrated in 1791. They crossed the Alps in winter and settled in Rome, where they were largely dependent on the kindness of others. Vigée Le Brun portrays the two women as elderly private citizens whose nearly identical clothes suggest the way their lives were intertwined.
