vbl2007 Posted November 24, 2023 Report Share Posted November 24, 2023 The video is dedicated to the famous French portrait artist of the 19th century - Marie Elisabeth Louise Vigée-Lebrenca (1755-1842). The interesting fate of this artist was closely intertwined with many royals, aristocrats and celebrities of that time. Events at home and close acquaintance with the royal family forced her to hastily leave France. For six years she wandered around Europe, earning money from time to time by depicting local aristocrats in paintings. Until one day she arrived in Russia, where she stayed for six long years. Many Russian aristocrats and nobles tried to order portraits from the artist. And even the Empress, Catherine II, ordered several portraits of her relatives from her. Orders and money flowed to Elizabeth like a river... And yet, after six years, she returned home to Paris. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
