Yup, it really is crazy. I think this was taken the year she died, as well.

I know I've seen this actual photograph of Marie Louise before but I just saw it again and it's blowing my mind. She was Napoleon's wife. And there's a photograph. 🤯

Meeting on the Isle of Pheasants, originally represented in a tapestry by Charles Le Brun, later copied on oils by Jacques Laumosnier.

Y al regresar a Fuenterrabía diría a los señores de su séquito:

«—Vengo muerto, porque de ver llorar a mi hija, eso allá lo debía; mi hermana también; pero cuando he visto estos dos muchachos pendientes de mi cuello llorar como niños, me he de tal suerte enternecido, que no puedo más».

Passive resistance

Condé feared that the king would become the tool of a nonentity or coquette, but it did not enter his head that the monarch could use the crutch of a friendship to realize his own political goals. Marie was even less astute, reportedly devising the strategty of surrounding him with persons of "mediocre capacity and little spirit." Among these was the man who would help Louis overthrow his mother and her favorite.

His name was Charles d'Albert, sieur de Luynes. Stories circulated that Luynes and his two younger brothers shared the same best suit, and that a hare could quickly jump across their family lands. Yet they were of the same lesser nobility that had predominated at the Estates General. Henri IV's friendship for Luynes' father, a soldier of fortune, caused him to place the younger Luynes among the dauphin Louis's noble comrades. The gentilhomme began to look after the heir's birds of prey; and the young boy's fondness for the gentle, handsome, and supportive middle-aged man grew.

By the end of 1614 Louis's attachment was so strong that it bothered Queen Mother Marie, her Italian favorite Concini, and the king's former governor, Souvré. Yet Luynes remained in Louis's favor and his brothers also gained easy access to the king. How did the king prevent a sequel to his mother's earlier banishment of Alexandre de Vendôme? We need follow only one example. In October 1614, Souvré made the Albert brothers stay away from the royal bedchamber, even during the ceremonial lever and coucher, hoping to supplant the gentleman-favorite with his own son, Courtenvaux. Someone told the king that his former governor was responsible, and Louis countered by treating Souvré with silence and dark looks, until the mortified man got the queen mother to negotiate an accommodation.

In employing passive resistance here, Louis had discovered the only way he could assert himself, considering the queen mother's imperiousness and his own timidity. The son also held his ground in refusing to tell his mother who had told him of Souvré's maneuver against Luynes, until she promised not to punish that individual. Equally revealing was the fact that Louis did not bear a grudge against Souvré or Courtenvaux, both of whom he actually liked. He paid for all this agitation with a soaring pulse and symptoms of illness. This powerful combination of indirect strategy, fierce loyalty, forgiveness, and sacrifice of personal health, then, separates the real adolescent Louis XIII from both the weakling and the vindictive Louis of historical fiction and scholarship.

If the court was baffled by the dynamics of Louis's friendships, it was equally unaware that his interests always had a serious element, even when they appeared frivolous. When he sketched with pen and ink, it was of horses pulling cannon, although incongruously placed in a child's setting of trees, churches, and village brides. Louis dutifully took part in court masques and ballets; however, his dislike of elaborate protocol and showing off caused him to refuse outright to lead his sister Elisabeth in a dance before the Spanish ambassador. The Spaniards were disconcerted by this affront so close to the marriages of Louis and Elisabeth to the children of King Philip III of Spain, Anne of Austria and the future Philip IV. The French court poet, Malherbe, could only comment: "If age and love don't change his ways, he will be inquisitive only of things that are solide."

Le Grand Dauphin:

Son of Marie-Thérèse d'Autriche (the one who married Louis XIV not the one who reigned over Austria and gave birth to Marie-Antoinette), a habsburg of Spain like her name obviously indicates. Also the son of Louis XIV, but he didn't reign because he died first. As well as his own son. Which makes the next king after Louis XIV his greatgrandson Louis XV.

Louis-Auguste:

Illegitimate son of the king (and, officially, no one else, to protect his mother, Mme de Montespan, from her hot-headed husband apparently), raised by Mme de Maintenon which readers of Les Colombes du Roi-Soleil will realize how ironic it is.

Dates indicated are dates of life.

The imperial family attends mass at Saint-Louis Cathedral

On the occasion of the dynastic anniversary, the imperial family invites its relatives to a religious celebration at the Hôtel des Invalides, a major venue for Simpartist gatherings.

The Emperor poses with Prince Murat, descendant of King Joachim Murat and main supporter of the imperial family.

The mass took place at 10 a.m., after the visit to the Tomb of the Emperor Napoléon I. His Majesty Emperor Napoléon IV is also descended from King Louis XIV through his father, but also from King Léopold I of Belgium and from the Austrian imperial family through his paternal great-grandmother. His Majesty's father, currently living in Belgium, has not attended the celebrations since the beginning of his son's reign due to a family dispute.

The Children of Francesim are also present on this dynastic day

The heir, the Imperial Prince Louis, descends the steps of the Invalides with his mother the Empress Marie-Joséphine.

The Tuileries Palace has been publishing the daily life of Louis and Hortense at the university for several months. Today, their Imperial Highnesses have momentarily left the premises of the Ecole Polytechnique to attend the ceremony. Their presence at the events is highly anticipated, especially as they are the favourite personalities of the French.

Princess Hortense leaves the Invalides accompanied by the Duke Oliver de Rothsay.

Duke Oliver de Rothsey is staying in Francesim for the duration of his military training at the Polytechnic School. According to the Tuileries Palace, the Duke seems to have developed a strong friendship with the Children of Francesim in recent months. Some rumours and celebrity magazines suspect that Oliver and Hortense have started a romance, but to date the Tuileries Palace has denied this.

La famille impériale assite à la messe à la cathédrale Saint-Louis

À l'occasion de l'anniversaire dynastique, la famille impériale invite ses proches à une célébration religieuse au cœur de l'Hôtel des Invalides, haut lieu des rassemblements Simpartistes.

L'Empereur pose avec le prince Murat, descendant du roi Joachim Murat et principal soutien de la famille impériale.

La messe a eu lieu à 10 heures, après la visite au Tombeau de l'Empereur Napoléon Ier. Sa Majesté l'Empereur Napoléon IV descend également du roi Louis XIV par son père, mais également du roi Léopold I de Belgique et de la famille impériale d'Autriche par son arrière grand-mère paternelle. Le père de Sa Majesté, vivant actuellement en Belgique, n'a pas assisté aux célébrations depuis le début du règne de son fils suite à un différend familial.

Les Enfants de Francesim sont également présents en ce jour dynastique

L'héritier, le prince impérial Louis, descend les marches des Invalides avec sa mère l'Impératrice Marie-Joséphine.

Le palais des Tuileries publie depuis quelques mois la vie quotidienne de Louis et Hortense à l'université. Aujourd'hui, leurs Altesses Impériales ont momentanément quitté les locaux de l'Ecole Polytechnique pour assister à la cérémonie. Leur présence aux événements est très attendue, d'autant plus qu'ils sont les personnalités préférées des français.

La princesse Hortense sort des Invalides accompagnée du duc Oliver de Rothsay.

Le duc Oliver de Rothsey réside en Francesim le temps d'une formation militaire à l'Ecole Polyechnique. Selon le palais des Tuileries, le duc semble avoir noué une forte amitié avec les Enfants de Francesim durant ces derniers mois. Certaines rumeurs et magazines people soupçonnent un début d'idylle entre Oliver et Hortense, mais jusqu'à ce jour, le palais des Tuileries a démenti ces propos.

1:43 pm : "Portrait de la comtesse Anna Flora von Kageneck en Flore, 1792" par Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun (huile sur toile) pour l'exposition "Chefs-d'oeuvre de la collection Bemberg" à la fondation de l'Hermitage -  Lausanne, Mai MMXXI. 

(© Sous Ecstasy) 

Élève de son père, Louis Vigée, puis de Vernet et de Greuse, Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun devient peintre officielle de la reine Marie-Antoinette avant même d'être reçue à l'Académie en 1783. Elle épouse le marchand de tableaux Jean-Baptiste Pierre Le Brun et poursuit une carrière de portraitiste à travers l'Europe, fait remarquable pour une femme au 18e siècle. À la Révolution française, elle se réfugie à l'étranger, notamment à Vienne, où elle peint ce magnifique portrait d'Anna Flore von Kageneck, fille de l'ambassadeur d'Autriche en Espagne. Portant une couronne de fleurs dans ses cheveux, la jeune fille âgée de treize ans incarne à merveille la déesse des fleurs et du printemps de la mythologie romaine, idéal de beauté pour de nombreux artistes.

Marie Antioinette (2022) Time Stamp Roulette

↳ Series 1 Episode 6: Deus Ex Machina

[news24fr]

Je futur roi de France n'est pas exactement un hic. Marie-Antoinette, à peine adolescente, a été envoyée d'Autriche pour se marier au dauphin Louis-Auguste – son carlin promptement saisi et renvoyé directement dans sa voiture – et pour quoi ? Un prince au visage pâteux et aux cheveux ternes, qui émerge portant un lapin mort. « Est-ce qu'il... se lave ? » demande-t-elle nerveusement à son amie courtoise. Il s'avère que c'est le cadet de ses soucis.Marie Antoinette (BBC Two) est le grand nouveau drame d'époque en huit épisodes de la BBC et de Canal + en France (qui a réalisé la série très divertissante et somptueuse Versailles). Il est écrit par Deborah Davis, qui a également écrit The Favorite, pour lequel elle a été nominée pour un Oscar, et qui a remporté son rôle principal, Olivia Colman, un. Si vous avez aimé ce film, il y a la même chose à apprécier ici – c'est parfois étrange, drôle, grotesque par endroits, avec une partition magnifique mais parfois oppressante. Les historiens et les puristes en France, où la série a été lancée fin octobre, l'ont sans surprise qualifiée d'« obscène » et pleine d'« aberrations historiques », dont le prétendu rebranding de Marie-Antoinette en icône féministe. Mais la tendance à réévaluer les figures féminines historiques et décriées avec un point de vue contemporain est imparable et, de toute façon, ce n'est pas la première révision de la dernière reine de France avant la révolution.

Louis de Silvestre, 1733: Portrait de Marie Josèphe d'Autriche (details)

[histoireettralala]

She "does nothing that is not delightful": Marquise Du Parc.

The next candidate for stardom was also a widow, although somewhat merrier. Marquise-Thérèse Gorla, known as Mlle Du Parc, was the opposite of Mlle Des Œillets: she was a less accomplished actress, but beautiful and notorious because of her relationship with Racine. References to her by the gazetteers almost always stress her height and her beauty and her ability as a dancer; she was the grande et belle Mlle Du Parc. Recent scholarship has also made much of her. For instance, in his earliest account of seventeenth-century actors, Les Grands Comédiens du XVIIe siècle, Georges Mongrédien includes biographies of nine actors and one actress: Marquise Du Parc.

[..]

The glimpses we get of Mlle Du Parc over the next few years all testify to her attractiveness to men. When Daniel de Cosnac, for isntance, describes the competition between the Molière-Béjart troupe and the troupe of Cormier to become the prince de Conti's resident company in Pézenas in 1653, he notes that the prince's secretary, Sarasin, favored the Molière-Béjart troupe because he had fallen in love with Mlle Du Parc. And both Pierre Corneille and his younger brother Thomas wrote love poetry to her, although, as Georges Forestier notes, it would be injudicious to assume, as some have, that they were in love with her. To do so would be to

"ignore all the poetic tradition: for Corneille, Marquise was the pretext for a long-distance joust with the great Ronsard on the theme of fugitive beauty and immortality, of the revenge of the aging poet… Thomas Corneille also wrote some verses to her, as if the two brothers were engaged in a little poetic tournament with Marquise as their inspiration."

Molière wrote a verse to her as well, very conventional, remarking on her beautiful complexion, her admirable figure, even her wit. Part of the Molière roman is the belief that he was in love with her or slept with all three of the actresses in the provincial troupe: Madeleine, Marquise, and Catherine de Brie. In fact, there is no hard evidence that he was the lover of either Mlle de Brie or Mlle Du Parc, both of whom appear to have been content with their husbands. André Chagny, in his biography of Mlle Du Parc, concludes that her private life was perfectly correct until after her husband died. And, besides, she was very often pregnant. She had at least five children, three of whom were living at the time of Du Parc's death in 1664.

Sorting out what roles Molière may have written for Mlle Du Parc is not easy, but it does not appear that he featured her or thought of her as a star. We are reasonably sure that none of his major ingenue roles were written for her; those usually went to Mlle de Brie and, later, to Mlle Molière [..]

It was when Molière introduced his comedy-ballets that someone like Marquise Du Parc would have been invaluable. The first of these plays with music was Les Fâcheux, written for Nicolas Fouquet's ill-fated fête at Vaux-le-Vicomte on August 17, 1661 [..] However, even though ballet interludes were normally performed by hired professionals and not by members of the troupe, in this instance Loret writes about:

La Du Parc, that beautiful actress, With the bearing of an Empress, Who, whether singing or dancing, Does nothing that is not delightful.

[..]

Molière found other opportunities to capitalize on the legs, the beauty and the presence of Mlle Du Parc, especially during the famous Plaisirs de L'Ile Enchantée, Louis XIV's 1664 entertainement at Versailles. On the first day she represented "Spring", dressed in green embroidered with silver and multi-colored flowers, and spoke a tribute to the queen Marie-Thérèse..

Ok i'm cheating a bit because Louis XVII wasn't crowned, didn't reign, and was never officially recognized a king of france... but if he did, and if they hadn't been in prison when his father was killed, then Marie-Antoinette would have been regent.
