The Queen of Romantic Portrait of the First French Revolution

(multilingual subtitles) Contemporaries spoke of the French portrait painter Marie-Louise Elisabeth Vigée Le Brun ambiguously. She was an extravagant, cynical, prudent, courteous, windy and unusually attractive woman with an adventurous nature.
She was practically self-taught. But she becomes a superstar artist in her lifetime, befriending kings and aristocrats. Vigée Le Brun lived a long and interesting life. She became one of the most famous secular portrait painters in Europe and created her own style of romantic individual portraiture. She wrote detailed memoirs about the life of the upper strata of society in those years.
