Excerpt from Vigée Le Brun
Yet he was to come near to the glory of it - nearer than he thought. 'twas a pity that he was robbed of the splendour of basking in the reflected radiance, and by a fish's bone.
It was to have its beginning in that year after the indolent but obstinate king, having fallen foul of his Parliaments in his game of facing-both-ways in the bitter strife 'twixt Church and people, patched up a peace with the Parliament men.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of the painter Elisabeth Vigà e Le Brun, a remarkable woman who rose to prominence in 18th-century France despite the limitations placed on women at the time. Born into an artistic family, Vigà e Le Brun began painting as a child and quickly developed an exceptional talent. She became a member of the prestigious Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture, and her portraits of Marie Antoinette and other members of the French court brought her great fame. However, the outbreak of the French Revolution forced her to flee the country, and she spent the next 12 years in exile, traveling and painting throughout Europe. The author provides a vivid account of the artist's life, exploring the challenges she faced as a woman and an artist, and examining the influence of the Enlightenment and the French Revolution on her work. Through its detailed descriptions of Vigà e Le Brun's paintings and her relationships with the famous people of her time, this book offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of art and politics in 18th-century France.
