商品簡介
Discover the story of Ad幨a骾e Labille-Guiard--a long-ignored artist and feminist of eighteenth-century France--in this imaginative and illuminating biography from an award-winning writer. Born in Paris in 1749, Ad幨a骾e Labille-Guiard rose from shopkeeper's daughter to an official portraitist of the royal court--only to have her achievements reduced to ash by the French Revolution. While she defied societal barriers to become a member of the exclusive Acad幦ie Royale and a mentor for other ambitious women painters, she left behind few writings, and her legacy was long overshadowed by celebrated portraitist and memoirist 匜isabeth Vig嶪-Lebrun. But Ad幨a骾e Labille-Guiard's story lives on. In this engaging biography, Bridget Quinn applies her insightful interpretation of art history to Labille-Guiard's life. She offers a fascinating new perspective on the artist's feminism, her sexuality, and her vision of the world. Quinn expertly blends close analyses of paintings with broader context about the era and inserts delicately fictionalized interpersonal scenes that fill the gaps in the historical record. This is a compelling and inspiring look at an artist too long overlooked. INSPIRING HISTORICAL NONFICTION: Despite numerous setbacks, Labille-Guiard built a legacy as an accomplished royal portraitist and a mentor to other young women artists of her era. This tale of solidarity, self-belief, and true passion for painting is sure to inspire contemporary creatives and women today. CREATIVE AND COMPELLING ART HISTORY BOOK: Bridget Quinn is an award-winning author and art historian who has spent years researching Ad幨a骾e Labille-Guiard's work and life. She vividly evokes both and weaves a compelling narrative at the intersection of art, gender, and politics. GORGEOUS ART REPRODUCTIONS THROUGHOUT: This biography features full-color images of artwork by Ad幨a骾e Labille-Guiard, her rumored rival 匜isabeth Vig嶪-Lebrun, and other artists of the era, including portraits of key players in the narrative. These images, interspersed throughout the book, offer valuable visual references to illuminate the engaging text even further. AN ARTFUL GIFT BOOK: Uniquely crafted and thoroughly researched, this volume makes an outstanding gift for art history enthusiasts and readers who love exploring untold stories in women's history.
