A9781476694399Paperback / softback. New. <p> This biography follows the remarkable life of Louise-Elisabeth Vigee Le Brun whose portraits of European royalty and nobility hang in many of the world's most important galleries. As a young woman in the male-dominated society of late 18th century France she was denied an artistic education and forced to nurture her passion outside the restrictions of conventional schooling. Vigee Le Brun's vibrant art in addition to her charm and beauty caught the attention of Queen Marie-Antoinette who honored her as her chosen painter. At the pinnacle of her fame and fortune however the Revolution forced Vigee Le Brun to flee Old Regime France leaving everything behind except her only child. </p><p> Drawn from her memoirs archival research and reexamination of the judgment of her contemporaries this book paints a fascinating picture of a single working mother who survived because of her cachet charisma and artistic talent. Cast on a storm-tossed continent solely reliant on her palette she produced some of her major works during her twelve-year exile returning to France to continue her work after Napoleon had restored stability. Her story is one of triumph adversity perseverance and ultimately peace.</p> paperback
18595118London: Unpublished Manuscript Letters 1859. No Binding. Good. ALS. Mary Anne Everett Green writes to the Society of Antiquaries about the discovery of a new document in the hand of Oliver Cromwell's wife Elizabeth Cromwell as 'I understand that the society of Antiquaries pleases itself somewhat upon being possessor of what has been supposed to be the only known autograph of Elizabeth Cromwell the protectress.' Writing on three sides of a bifolium in May 1859 from the 'State Paper Office' where she was then working Green describes the discovery among 'an immense mass of petitions' and appends a copy of the document not present with her inferences about the handwriting as well as a second copy of a document by Henry Cromwell and further explanation of her discovery. Green signs off with a hint of gloating: 'I think these papers will possess some interest for the Society' and signs her name in full. The letter was heavily revised during writing; there is a stain to the first page and a note above the address in another hand: 'read 9. June '59'. Green helped oversee the establishment of the Public Record Office as well as writing extensively on British history. Good 1859 Unpublished Manuscript Letters unknown
