1755 1793 Antoinette Marie Reads
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a rare moment of intimacy with the infamous Queen Marie Antoinette. In this image, we see her holding a book, engrossed in its contents as she delves into the world of literature and knowledge. The year is 1755, long before the tumultuous events that would ultimately lead to her tragic end in 1793.
Marie Antoinette's reputation as a frivolous and extravagant queen often overshadows her intellectual curiosity and love for reading. Here, we are offered a glimpse into her private life, away from the opulence of Versailles and the scrutiny of courtiers. It is a reminder that behind every historical figure lies layers of complexity and humanity.
As she turns the pages of her book, one can only wonder what thoughts are running through her mind. Is she seeking solace in literature amidst political turmoil? Or perhaps escaping into another world far removed from the constraints of royalty?
This print serves as a poignant reminder that even queens have moments of vulnerability and introspection. It invites us to reconsider our preconceived notions about Marie Antoinette and encourages us to see her not just as a symbol of excess but as a multifaceted individual with passions and interests beyond the crown she wears.
