18th century blog

I love these! The very first one is beautiful.

What a lovely place you have here. Would you mind if I linked to you?

Hi I just wanted to say that when I was looking up 18th century art and fashion I happened across your blog and I’m in love with all this assortment of art that you’ve posted. I’m a huge Elisabeth Vigee Lebrun fan (did a research paper on Marie Antoinette years ago and learned about the female artist in the process) and thanks to your blog I’m a Garnier and Roslin fan as well. Thank you for these posts of beautiful artwork! : )

Hi, your blog is so cute. I love this period of the XVIII century. Excuse for my english.
Je suis fan de la belle Marie Antoinette et je suis aussi artiste peintre. J’ai d’ailleurs peint un joli tableau sur Marie Antoinette si un jour cela t’intéresses je pourrais te montrer mes créations. :)

Oh my goodness! These dresses are so lavishly beautiful! Thank you for posting these Johanna, I’ve always been a bit fascinated by the 17th century. I’m so glad I found your blog! :)

The painting called “Mme Elisabeth and her son” : what do you mean ? Mme Elisabeth was the sister of the king Louis XVI of France, husband of the queen Marie-Antoinette. Mme Elisabeth refused to marry herself because she prefered stay belong her brother for life. So the painting title is wrong.

Pour traduire un peu mon commentaire dans un anglais apporximatif, disons que Mme Elisabeth, la soeur de Lousi XVI ne s’est jamais mariée et elle n’a jamais eu d’enfant ! donc le titre “Mme Elisabeth and her son” est totalement erroné … !! Je ne sais pas qui a baptisé ce tableau, mais il ou elle aurait besoin de faire un tour sur Wikipedia ou dans un autre site bien documenté sur la vie de la famille royale de France à cette époque. Il serait urgent de débaptiser le tableau, et je crois que celui-ci doit avoir un titre d’origine..

Il est possible qu’il s’agisse d’un de ses neveux ou nièces.
