Trying to make sense of Delamarre and his painting of a dog said by someone (tho not anyone in history) to be Marie Antoinette's beloved Pompon, in the context of Marie Antoinette actually beloved painters, and it's not evening out.

L: Anne Vallayer-Coster's best still life, she got a studio in the Louvre and a stipend from M-A. R: Elisabeth Louise Vigee le Brun's portrait of the comte de Vaudreuil, her patron, who slept his way to power at Versailles, which led to her becoming the favorite portraitist of the queen and her groupies. Bottom: Delamarre's dog, supposedly Pompon, bless his wide-eyed, shaved-ass soul

Peace Bringing Back Abundance

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

Date: 1780

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City, NY, United States

Description

Wishing to gain admission to the Académie royale de peinture et de sculpture in 1783 as a history painter, Vigée Le Brun presented this allegory as her reception piece. At the time, historical, mythological, religious, and allegorical subjects were considered superior to all others (portraiture, genre, landscape, and still life). With the American Revolution just ended, the artist’s choice was timely. The future is symbolized by Peace, on the right, who is ushering in Abundance with her cornucopia of fruit.

Varvara Ivanovna Ladomirskaya

Artist: Elisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun (French, Paris 1755–1842 Paris)

Date: 1800

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City, NY, United States

Description

Vigée Le Brun painted this portrait in Moscow for the sitter’s mother, a personal friend. Varvara Ivanovna (1785–1840) was an illegitimate child of Ivan Rimsky-Korsakov and Countess Stroganova, who had left her husband in St. Petersburg to be with her lover. In this compelling image, the sitter is represented in Greek costume: a chemise dress under an embroidered stole fastened at the shoulder.

Maria Luisa di Borbone, Princess of the Two Sicilies

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

Date: 1790

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: The Met 5th Ave, New York City, NY, United States

Description

For her likeness of Maria Luisa (1773–1802), painted in Naples, Vigée Le Brun abandoned the convention of formal royal portraiture in accordance with which the sitter’s rank is indicated. Instead, she presents the rather plain princess seated at a desk, her porte-crayon in hand, providing a glimpse of her drawing. The effect is intimate and spontaneous.
