Text: English (translation)
Original Language: French
Unfortunately, this is but a reprint of the 1903 abridged, translated version of Vigee Lebrun's Souvenirs de Madame Vigee Le Brun . This first-hand account, written late in life, appeared in three volumes, the first in 1835, the others in 1837. Lebrun was a fine artist primarily known as painter to Marie Antoinette and for having been elected to the French Academy. Thus, her Souvenirs were reprinted, in two volumes, in 1869. The edition under review cuts corners to reprint instead the stilted and even silly version prepared for the English-speaking audience, which came out as one volume bearing more illustrations than this 1989 book. Acquire instead Joseph Baillio's outstanding Elisabeth Louise Vigee Le Brun (Univ. of Washington Pr., 1983).
