1770 -1835 · Paris, Europe and artist's affirmation
Self-portrait, child, writer and singer tell the story of the freedom won by Vigée Le Brun: her art crosses borders by adapting the portrait to each voice.
Élisabeth Louise Vigée was born in Paris in 1755. Her pastellist father encouraged her, but her early death forced the young artist to make a quick living from her profession. Despite the limits imposed on women by official education, she was trained through collections, workshops and practice. Her marriage to the merchant Jean-Baptiste-Pierre Le Brun broadened her access to old masters without guaranteeing her financial independence. Admitted to the Royal Academy in 1783, she became one of the most sought-after portrait painters in Europe.

Self-portrait with her daughter Julie transformed motherhood into the public affirmation of a woman artist, through a simple embrace and an unconventional smile. Louis-Philippe as a child shows his ability to grasp a dynastic identity without removing real age. During and after emigration, she painted Germaine de Staël as Corinne, giving the writer a role inspired by her own novel, then singers like Angelica Catalani whose face and posture suggest the voice. Kings, princesses, artists and children form a mobile gallery. The Memoirs of Vigée Le Brun extend this work into a career story and bear witness to an artist aware of her historical place.
