About Me
- andrew1860
- I'm a antique dealer and Historical Folk artist. I created this blog to document and highlight my artwork along with my day to day life as a Artist, Antique dealer and collector. My favorite two periods in history are France's Ancien Régime, the time of French Queen Marie Antoinette 1770-1789 and the antebellum period of the American South 1830-1860. Both of theses periods ended tragically with war. I intend to explore furniture, architecture, decorative arts, culture, history, fashion and the people that made up these two fascinating periods in time. I recently moved back to my roots of Mobile, Alabama after living away for 17 years. Come and explore the restoration of my turn-of-the century Art's and crafts bungalow into a Antebellum show place.
Do we know who painted this portrait? The queen looks quite modest and studious.
ReplyDeletePoor Marie Antoinette was born at the wrong time and married into the wrong royal family. If her mother had known the Revolution was coming, she should have kept her daughter in Vienna.
Hi the original painting was done by one of my favorite artist Louise Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun. This is a 19th century pastel copy of the original oil portrait. Marie Antoinette is modest and studious in this portrait and is wearing a robe anglais a more comfortable less formal English style dress that she made fashionable in France.
ReplyDeleteI had forgotten that she was executed on my brother's birthday. So sad.
ReplyDeleteHoping you are well, my friend!?
