EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures Marie Louise, the former Empress of France and Duchess of Parma, in the 1810s. Born as Maria Anna Carolina of the Two Sicilies in 1791, Marie Louise became the second wife of Napoleon Bonaparte in 1810, following the annulment of his first marriage. In this exquisite image, Marie Louise is depicted in the height of imperial elegance, wearing a delicate pink dress adorned with intricate floral patterns. She accessorizes the outfit with a fashionable headscarf, adding a touch of femininity to her regal appearance. Marie Louise's beauty and grace were renowned throughout Europe, and she was often referred to as the "Sicilian Venus." Her marriage to Napoleon brought her into the heart of the French imperial court, where she played an essential role in diplomacy and cultural patronage. Despite the political turmoil and instability of the time, Marie Louise's image remained a symbol of grace and refinement. This portrait was painted by the renowned French artist, Amelia Borghèse, also known as Madame Vigée Le Brun, or simply Le Brun. Le Brun was a leading portraitist of the French imperial court during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, and her works captured the likenesses and personalities of many prominent figures of the time, including Marie Antoinette, Josephine Bonaparte, and, of course, Marie Louise herself. This evocative image of Marie Louise offers a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the French imperial court during the early 19th century, a time of political upheaval and cultural innovation. The delicate pink hues and intricate floral patterns of her dress, combined with the softness of her expression and the elegant simplicity of her headscarf, make this portrait a true masterpiece of imperial portraiture.
