Hello, my name is Marie Elizabeth Louise Vigee LeBrun. I was a French Portrait painter for Marie Antoinette. I was born on April 16, 1755, to Louis Vigee, and Jeanne Maisson. My father was a portrait artist, and taught me with the rest of his students, that came to the house for his instructions. I married Jean-Baptiste-Pierre LeBrun. We had one child named Julie, on February 12, 1780. During the years I was the Portrait Artist to the Queen Marie Antionette, I painted over 30 portraits. I became very fond of the Queen. She was a lovely person, and generous, loving, and kind. During the French Revolution, I fled Paris with my little daughter, in peril of our lives. I toured Europe while in exile, and painted many crowned heads of Europe. Welcome to my page.
