About this listen

 In this captivating memoir, Madame Vigee Lebrun takes us on a journey through her childhood and the early discovery of her artistic talent. She recounts the serendipitous moment that introduced her to the glamorous world of portraiture for the elite, her daring escape from France amid the chaos of the French Revolution, and her flourishing career as a sought-after portraitist for Europe’s royal families. Through her compelling narrative, Lebrun reveals how she navigated and challenged the biases of the art world that sought to confine women artists to limited roles and subjects. (James K. White)
