Portrait of Countess Maria Theresia Bucquoi, née Parr, 1793

Elisabeth Louise Vigée-Le Brun

Oil on canvas

At the age of 24, Vigée-LeBrun executed her first portrait of Queen Marie-Antoinette of France, and over the course of her career, remained the principal portraitist of the French aristocracy. On the night that revolutionaries arrested Louis XVI and his queen in 1789, Vigée-Le Brun fled France and went into exile traveling throughout Europe for 12 years.

Countess Maria Theresia Bucquoi was the daughter of Prince Johann Joseph Paar (1719-1792) and Countess Antonia Esterhazy (1719-1771), and the wife of Count Johann Josef Bucquoi (died 1803). The portrait was commissioned in 1793 by the sitter's brother, Prince Wenzel Paar. Vigée-LeBrun specifically recalls the painting in her Souvenirs when referring to the hospitality accorded to her by her Austrian patrons during her stay in Vienna. Upon its completion, the portrait was displayed in the salon of the palace of Prince Paar.

Elisabeth Louise Vigée-Lebrun French 1755-1842 “Portrait of Natalia Zakharovna Kolycheva” 1799 Oil on canvas Photo is taken by: @robertpuffjr Born into an artistic family, Vigée-Lebrun took drawing lessons from her father and began working as a professional artist as a teenager. She became Queen Marie Antoinette's official portrait painter, and in 1783 she was admitted into the French Royal Academy. Forced into exile at the onset of the French Revolution, Vigée-Lebrun continued to be a sought-after portraitist. While living in Russia, she painted this striking portrait of Natalia Zakharovna Kolycheva, a member of the nobility. The artist presented her sitter as a refined and educated woman: she reads a French play and wears fashionable clothing, gold jewelry, and a classicizing hair accessory. The artist was both celebrated and criticized for idealizing her sitters through the supple brushwork, rich hues, and soft lighting so skillfully demonstrated here.

Happy birthday to Louise-Elisabeth Vigée-Lebrun, who was born on this day in 1755. One of the most prominent (and popular) French portrait painters of the late 1700s, she created over 800 paintings in her lifetime. Marie Antoinette was one of Vigée-Lebrun’s many patrons, and with her support the artist became one of fourteen women admitted to the Royal Academy prior to the French Revolution. Madame Le Brun caused a great scandal at her first Salon, when she exhibited “Marie-Antoinette in a Chemise Dress,” portraying the queen in a simple, informal white muslin garment. Deemed too inappropriate for the public eye, the artist was asked to remove it from the exhibition. Vigée-Lebrun continued to make waves when her painting “Self-Portrait with Her Daughter, Julie” was exhibited at the Salon of 1787, which portrayed the artist smiling open-mouthed, breaking traditional painting conventions.

This particular portrait is of Madame Du Barry, a longtime mistress of King Louis XV. Vigée-Lebrun painted Du Barry three times. It is likely that Du Barry gave this picture to her English lover, Henry Seymour.

A portrait of Marie-Thérèse-Louise de Savoie-Carignan, the princesse de Lamballe, by Elisabeth Louise Vigée-LeBrun, 1782.

LeBrun described the princesse de Lamballe in her memoirs:

About this time I also painted the Princess de Lamballe. Without being actually pretty, she appeared so at a little distance; she had small features, complexion of dazzling freshness, superb blond locks, and was generally elegant in person. The unhappy end of this unfortunate Princess is sufficently well known, and so is the devotion to which she fell a victim. For in 1793, when she was at Turin, entirely out of harm's way, she returned to France upon learning that the Queen was in danger.
