Vigée Le Brun. Autoportrait au Chapeau de Paille (1782)

Vigée Le Brun was the most important woman artist of her era and one of the most singular of any period. She was the daughter of a painter but largely self-taught. In 1776 she married the expert and dealer Jean-Baptiste Pierre Le Brun (1748-1813) and in 1778 she was summoned to Versailles by Marie Antoinette (1755-1793), who sat for her for the first time. Exhibition Overview. Elisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun (French, 1755-1842) is one of the finest 18th-century French painters and among the most important of all women artists. An autodidact with exceptional skills as a portraitist, she achieved success in France and Europe during one of the most eventful, turbulent periods in European history.
