Marie Antoinette

Marie Antoinette à la Rose", one of the most famous portraits of Marie Antoinette; it was meant to counteract the scandal caused by the "muslin" dress portrait, by Élisabeth Vigée-Lebrun

I don't remember the scandal associated with the muslin dress portrait. I will google it and learn. I love when blog posts teach something new. It is interesting how the first portrait makes her look much older...the second one seems more in line with how I think about her -- which is sort-of Kirten Dunst-ish from the Marie Antoinette (2006) movie, I never realized how young she was until I watched it.

Skjønne bilder. Hun var en fascinerende kvinne. Det er spennende å lese om historien hennes.

Ønsker deg en deilig søndag! Her skinner solen fra en klar blå himmel og temperaturen er -15. Nydelig norsk vinterdag.

Klem fra
