Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun
Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun was a renowned French painter of the 18th century, celebrated for her portraits of the aristocracy, particularly Queen Marie Antoinette. As one of the few prominent female artists of her time, she gained acclaim for her ability to capture the elegance and personality of her subjects. Vigée Le Brun's work was instrumental in shaping the public image of her sitters, and her style often featured soft colors and delicate brushwork, which became emblematic of the Rococo period. Her painting of Marie Antoinette in a white chemise is particularly notable for its forward-thinking approach to fashion and femininity, making significant contributions to both art and cultural history.
