Louise Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun (France 1755–1842) was a French painter and is recognized as the most celebrated female painter of the 18th century. She was the daughter of a portraitist and fan painter, Louis Vigée, from whom she received her early training. She achieved rapid success as a portraitist of high society thanks to the naturalness and vitality of her portraits. She became the official portraitist of Marie Antoinette, and through the Queen, Vigée Le Brun became a member of the Royal Academy of Painting in Paris. Vigée Le Brun was the most sought-after portrait painter of her time. She produced over 900 paintings, including numerous self-portraits and portraits of her friend Marie Antoinette.
