In this lucid essay, the erudite French essayist analyzes the work of Elisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun, one of the most brilliant and ignored painters of the last pre-revolutionary decades in France. A masterful portraitist "capable of combining faithful resemblance with impalpable idealization", Vigée Le Brun was the ally that Marie Antoinette chose to offer a human and worthy image of that mundus muliebris that she represented and that, supposedly, corrupted the prestige and the authority of monarchs by dint of effeminating them. A fascinating story that recreates with magnificent precision the virulent awakening of a political, moral and social misogyny that made Queen Marie Antoinette and her official portrait painter scapegoats.
