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

Hi my friends ! it´s a beautiful  day today ,but it´s windy like so many times here up on Iceland. But They say the winds Blow away all the dirty air and that is why Iceland is such a pure land :) it´s blessed with the wind ..  *smile* - The snow is all gone *smile* except a little left in the mountains. I'm busy these days to practice and learn about WordPress and everything about marketing online. This is very exciting stuff and extensive. This is my dream so much fun :-) It takes several months or more to learn it all. Sandi Krakowski is a very good teacher for all information related to WordPress and I've listened to it recently and I will continue to do so she is so encouraging and funny :-) Hope you  all have a good day ....
