Marie Antoinette, who regularly sat for Vigée Le Brun, popularized the kind of simple, white muslin dress so beautifully painted in this portrait of the comtesse de la Châtre, daughter of Louis XV’s premier valet de chambre.

In 2022 opera on the women of the French revolution premiered! It is called GIRONDINES! It's an English language opera that premiered with Wilmington Concert Opera and will be having its West Coast premier with Mission Opera!

Album image for the original concert cast album

According to an February 2023 article by Broadway World: "The Original Wilmington Concert Opera Cast Album is now available! It features Kirsten C. Kunkle as Charlotte Corday, Ashley Becker as Olympe de Gouges, Marisa Robinson as Marie Anne Pierrette Paulze Lavoisier, Alyssa Maria Lehman as Manon Roland, Raffaella Lo Castro as Germaine de Staël, Tracy Sturgis as Élisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun, Thuy Nguyen on Violin, Melissa Brun on Cello, and Sarah Van Sciver on Piano."

I have not yet listened but as someone into frev and opera I am very excited. It also looks like the original concert production may be available to watch on YouTube!

So far it looks like these have been small scale productions, but everything starts somewhere! I need to listen to the music but I wish good things to come

Portrait of the Marquise de Grollier, nee Charlotte Eustache Sophie de Fuligny Damas

Artist: Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun (French, 1755 – 1842)

Genre: Portrait

Date: 1788

Description

Charlotte Eustace Sophie de Fuligny-Damas, more commonly known as the Marquise de Grollier (21 December 1741, Paris – 1828, Épinay-sur-Seine), was a French flower painter.

In 1760, de Fuligny-Damas married Pierre Louis de Grollier, Marquis de Grollier and Treffort (1730-1793), the Governor of Pont-d'Ain and Deputy of the Nobility. The couple would have three children before separating. Later, they lived at the court in Versailles, where the Marquise de Grollier became friends with the portrait painter Elisabeth Vigée Le Brun. Le Brun would often mention Grollier in her diaries, describing her as “always simple and natural, and never showed any pretension, nor an ounce of pedantry.” The Marquise was attracted to the gardens at Versailles and later created one of her own in Lainville-en-Vexin.

In 1793, de Fuligny-Damas lost her husband to the guillotine and was forced to leave France. She went to Switzerland, then Germany and, finally, Italy. In Florence, her talent was soon recognized. The sculptor, Antonio Canova, once referred to her as the "Raphael of flowers". At this time, she also created some mosaics. Joseph-Marie Vien, Director of the French Academy in Rome, arranged for her return to France. She settled in with her nephew, Alexandre-Charles-Emmanuel de Crussol, at his château in Épinay-sur-Seine, where she practiced horticulture as well as painting. After his death, she began to give large sums to charity in his name.

In 1823, she prevailed upon the engineer, Louis-Georges Mulot, to create an artesian aquifer in the château's park to provide clean drinking water for the local villagers. The work lasted for three years. In recognition for her efforts, she was named one of the founding members of the "Société d'Horticulture". She died shortly after, aged 86.

The Robespierre siblings getting accused of wishing life out of each other compilation

The same 13 thermidor there then appeared before us citoyenne Béguin, wife of citizen Béguin, employed as secretary at the Commission of Representatives of the People at the Army of Italy, rue du Four-Honoré, n. 482. […] She was asked if she had visited the infamous Robespierre the older, which were the people who frequented him and if she had known about his infamous conspiracy. To which she answered that she had never visited Robespierre the older, that the infamous Duplays didn’t leave his side, that a man by the name of Daillé (Daillet), that she thought had been employed either at the Revolutionary Tribunal or at the military commission at Arras, that an individual like Le Brun (Topino-Le Brun), juror at the Revolutionary Tribunal in Paris, had told citoyenne Lavaux, a friend of citoyenne Béguin, that she had to stop seeing Robespierre’s sister, given that Le Brun knew that all those who came to see citoyenne Robespierre would be guillotined… […] Interrogation of femme Béguin, at whose house Charlotte was arrested on 13 thermidor. In her own interrogation held right before that of femme Béguin, Charlotte states that she had ”almost fallen victim to the Revolutionary Tribunal” which her older brother ”passed for having appointed people to.” 

Section du contrat social  Revolutionary Committee 13 Thermidor, Year 2 of the Republic  There appeared before us citoyennes widow Girard, residing on rue du Doyéné, section of Thulieries n. 289, and Canone, residing in the same house, arrested at the home of citoyenne Béguin, residing on rue du four Honoré. When asked what had urged them to go to citoyenne Béguin, they replied that they had learned that citoyenne Robespierre was with citoyenne Béguin and that they were going to congratulate her on the happiness she was currently enjoying when she was finally free from the infamous tyrants Robespierre who had never had another purpose but to sacrifice their sister. When asked to tell us if they knew people who more usually frequented Robespierre, they responded that they did not know the people who habitually associated with the infamous Robespierre, that they had never seen him, that they only knew their unfortunate sister. […] Interrogation of citoyennes Girard and Canone, arrested alongside Charlotte on 13 thermidor. Cited in Charlotte Robespierre et le 9 Thermidor (1920) by Albert Mathiez.

But one will be less surprised to see Robespierre thus sacrifice have those who flatter themselves to be his friends slaughtered, when we know that he had resolved to also kill his own sister. The latter, as we have observed, had been obliged to follow him to Paris. Touched by the misfortunes of her compatriots, she ventured one day to ask the one who caused them, if he would not finally put an end to the massacres which were being carried out in her name in the city of Arras? Furious at the reproach, Robespierre immediately threw her out of his home, and made her leave for the City whose fate she pitied. When she arrived there, he wrote to Commissioner Bon [sic], to recommend to his revolutionary zeal the one who had dared to blame their common operations. The worthy Agent, consulting only his inclination, would not have hesitated to immediately send her to the guillotine. But, either he knew Robespierre little enough to believe him capable of regret over the murder of his sister, or, more likely, because he was in a hurry to leave for his expedition to Cambray, he judged it appropriate to postpone the execution of his Master's order until after his return. His return not having taken place, because he was obliged to go to Paris, to answer the accusations brought against him, this circumstance saved Robespierre's sister from the furies of her brother. La vie et les crimes de Robespierre: surnommé le tyran, depuis sa naissance jusqu’à sa mort(1795) by Le Blond de Neuvéglise (Liévin-Bonaventure Proyart) page 274-275 

I (Charlotte) often sent my brother jams or fruit comfits, which he liked a lot, or other sweets; Madame Duplay always let her bad humor show every time she saw my domestic arrive. One day when I had charged her with bringing a few jars of jam to my brother, Madame Duplay said angrily to her: “Bring that back, I don’t want her to poison Robespierre.” My domestic returned in tears to tell me about Madame Duplay’s dreadful blasphemy. I remained stupefied and could not speak. How to believe it? In place of going to ask an explanation, in place of going to complain to my brother of the horrible words she had said, the fear of causing him pain, and of provoking a scene which could only be very disagreeable restrained me, and I swallowed in sadness my grief and indignation.  Mémoires de Charlotte Robespierre (1835) page 89-90

”…knowing no way to break the yoke [Maximilien] has allowed himself to be placed under [said Charlotte], and no longer able to bear the pain and the shame of to see my brother devote his name to general execration, I ardently desire his death as well as mine. Judge of my unhappiness!…” […] The tenderness of this unfortunate girl for her brother was therefore very keen and very blind, she forgot that, a few moments before, she had told Gaillard, with the accent of despair and with eyes filled with tears, that death would seem preferable to the pain of seeing Maximilien dedicate his name to public execration, and yet her brother for his part had devoted mortal hatred to her since the trip she had made to Arras to collect evidence of the massacres carried out by Joseph Lebon. La Révolution, la Terreur, le Directoire 1791-1799: d’après les mémoires de Gaillard (1908) page 263-272.

Moreover, the royalty of divine right did not take long to, following 1815, reveal to us the true motive of Charlotte Corday's action, by conferring letters of nobility to her family, at the same time as it continued by decree the pension that the empire had awarded to Mademoiselle Robespierre, who everyone knows today to have been the Charlotte Corday of her two brothers, minus the disinterestedness and courage. Étude impartiale sur Jean Paul Marat le savant et Jean Paul Marat le révolutionnaire (1836-1863) by François-Vincent Raspail, page 258.

Astuces et conseils pour prendre soin de ses cheveux

Les cheveux peuvent sublimer le visage d’une femme et affirmer une certaine personnalité. Aujourd’hui, on peut passer du court au long, du brun au blond, du lisse au bouclé et ce en seulement quelques heures. Toutefois, certaines manipulations rendent nos cheveux secs, cassants, abîmés. Ô Magazine vous donne 10 astuces et conseils et vous recommande des produits pour prendre soin de ses cheveux. Qu’ils soient fins ou épais, lisses ou bouclés, colorés ou naturels, chaque type de cheveux a une gamme faite pour lui. Mais trouver la marque idéale de soins est délicat car si certaines marques se disent naturelles, beaucoup d'entres elles ont un tas de produits agressifs pour le cheveu. Pour une chevelure en bonne santé, voici deux principes simples : entretenez-la tous les jours et privilégiez des produits naturels. Astuces pour le soin de ses cheveux Tout d’abord, coupez les pointes tous les deux ou trois mois. Cela peut sembler être un cliché mais son efficacité a fait ses preuves. Espacez les shampoings. Avoir les cheveux gras est désagréable, pourtant ils n’attendent que ça ! En effet, laver tous les jours ses cheveux abîme le cuir chevelu. Ne pas brosser les cheveux mouillés. Eh oui, ça les casse ! Faites un bain d’huile deux fois par mois : mélangez l’huile d’argan, de karité et de coco dans un saladier et trempez toutes vos longueurs dedans. Faites poser le plus longtemps possible, toute la nuit idéalement avec une charlotte. Le lendemain, faites deux ou trois shampoings pour que votre cheveu ne soit pas gras et enfin, appliquez votre routine masque et crème sans rinçage. Les différents types de cheveux. Conseils à suivre pour les soins Utilisez des produits adaptés à son type de cheveux et choisissez des produits naturels. Attention aux marques qui se disent naturelles : regardez les composants ! A voir : Produits incontournables pour préserver la beauté de vos cheveux cet été. Arrêtez les produits avec du silicone et du sulfate. Évitez les objets avec de la chaleur : lisseur, fer à boucler, sèche-cheveux. Nourrissez et hydratez tous les jours : appliquez une crème sans rinçage le matin avant de sortir tel que Ultra Doux de Garnier ou le soir avant d'effectuer une natte avant d'aller dormir. Utilisez des compléments alimentaires et des vitamines pour renforcer les cheveux. L'enseigne Les Miraculeux font des gummies spécial beauté et cheveux. Il bénéficie d'un très bon avis de la clientèle. Rituel pour soin de ses cheveux Le Pack Boucles Coconat en trois étapes. 10) Avant de se laver les cheveux, appliquez de l'huile d'argan, laissez poser au moins 30 minutes puis lavez avec un shampoing doux sans sulfate. Lavez et rincez deux fois vos cheveux avec votre shampoing et appliquez le masque Cocunat à l'huile d'argan. Enfin, laissez poser une bonne demi-heure. Par la suite, une crème sans rinçage s'impose. Que ce soit pour les nourrir, les faire briller ou les hydrater. Pour notre part, à la suite du masque, nous continuons d'utiliser la marque Cocunat. En effet, sur cheveux humides, appliquez tout d'abord le curl booster : une crème légère et qui ne colle pas. Elle se compose d’huile d’argan, de coco et de chanvre. Elle est aussi enrichie aux huiles essentielles de romarin, santal, mandarine, menthe, pamplemousse, orange et de géranium. Appliquez mèche par mèche pour définir les boucles et attendez qu'elle sèche. Ensuite, utilisez le curl spray qui va permettre de fixer mes boucles, à base de sodium polyitaconate et d’extrait de porphyra umbilicatis « red algae ». Vaporisez sur la main en l'appliquant et en froissant chaque mèche. Pour finir, appliquez le sérum capillaire à l'huile d'argan 100 % naturel, 23 % d’origine biologique qui permet de nourrir mes longueur en profondeur et de canaliser les frisottis. Environ trois et quatre gouttes suffisent amplement en fonction de l'épaisseur des cheveux. A lire : Sauvez vos cheveux cet été : les meilleurs masques capillaires pour un soin intensif Cocunat est une marque espagnole de cosmétique aux composants naturels. Ses produits ne contiennent aucune substance chimique et ne sont pas testés sur les animaux.

Lettre à Marguerite

Chère Marguerite,

J'ai tant de choses à te raconter et si peu de temps ! Tu vas regretter de t'être moqué de la radinerie de Marcel. Figure toi qu'il avait 2 billets pour l'exposition coloniale ! Nous y sommes allés dimanche, il est passé me prendre à 7h, imagines-tu comme j'ai dû me dépêcher. Mais il avait raison. Quand nous sommes arrivés, pour l'ouverture, une belle file d'attente était déjà constituée. Mais ce n'était pas ennuyeux, déjà, nous pouvions admirer les plus grandes constructions : minarets blancs, clochers bruns du temple d'Angkor. Les personnes parlaient entre elles, se recommandant tel ou tel stand. Une fois entrée, nous ne savions plus où donner de la tête, les couleurs, les odeurs, les bruits, le monde !

J'ai été éblouie, nous ne voyagerons jamais si loin et bien sûr jamais dans tant d'endroits différents ! De l'Asie à l'Afrique, de l'Amérique à l'Océanie. Nous avons croisé des dromadaires qui promenaient des visiteurs peu rassurés, nous avons goûté des jus de fruits étranges (mangue, kiwi : je ne suis pas sûre de l'orthographe) et mangé des plats dont nous ne connaissions pas les ingrédients mais tous parfumés ou épicés.

Nous n'avons pas pu tout voir car pour entrer dans les pavillons, une attente plus ou moins longue était inévitable. Nous avons privilégié les colonies françaises (quand même) : les Antilles et l'AOF.

Dans ce bâtiment, des colons venaient nous parler de leur vie là-bas et cela semblait paradisiaque : de grandes maisons, des serviteurs souriants, des possibilités de promotions rapides. M. Dupont connaissait Marcel (j'ai découvert que c'est lui qui avait procuré les billets à Marcel, finalement tu as peut-être raison pour la radinerie) et avait préparé tout un dossier pour un contrat de travail au Soudan. Imagine ma surprise ! Marcel avait l'air de penser que je serai enthousiaste et ravie. Je dois reconnaître que j'avais un peu d'appréhension.

M. Dupont nous a retenu à dîner au souk reconstitué près du lac Daumesnil et nous avons pu ainsi profiter des éclairages féériques à la nuit tombée.

J'aurais tellement aimé partager cette journée avec toi.

Depuis Marcel parle de plus en plus d'émigration et je suis perplexe. M. Dupont a promis d'inviter mes parents à l'exposition et si tu es rentrée, je pourrai t'avoir un billet aussi. On peut dire que le gouvernement soigne les candidats à la colonisation !

J'ai hâte d'avoir tes impressions et tes avis.

Je t'embrasse

Charlotte
