Élisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun

Élisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun (Marie Élisabeth Louise; April 16, 1755 – March 30, 1842), also known as Madame Lebrun, is a prominent French painter.

Her artistic style is generally considered part of the aftermath of Rococo, while she often adopts a neoclassical style.

Vigée Le Brun cannot be considered a pure Rococo or Neoclassical painter.

Her subject matter and color palette can be classified as Rococo, however, her style is aligned with the emergence of Neoclassicism.

Vigée Le Brun creates a name for herself in Ancien Régime society by serving as the portrait painter to Marie Antoinette.

Vigée Le Brun leaves a legacy of six hundred and sixty portraits and two hundred landscapes.

In addition to private collections, her works may be found at major museums, such as the Hermitage Museum, London's National Gallery, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and many other collections in continental Europe and the United States.
