Biography:
With an artist father, Marie Louise Elisabeth Vigee-Lebrun learned to paint at an early age. By 1775, she had already established a solid reputation by painting successful portraits of Count Orloff and the Dutchess of Orleans. Vigee-Lebrun was admitted to the Academy in 1783. At the beginning of the French Revolution, she moved to Italy and worked mostly in Rome and Naples. She then traveled to Vienna, Berlin, and St. Petersburg before returning to Paris in 1802. Not long after, she went to London to paint the Prince of Wales and Lord Byron. Although she painted many famous clients, Vigee-Lebrun created a whole series of Marie-Antionette.
