The #MarieAntoinetteStyle exhibit @vamuseum.bsky.social was breathtaking
Having just played #ÉlisabethVigéeLeBrun in #PerispherTheater’s production of “Marie Antoinette: The Color of Flesh,” the thoughtfully crafted narrative of this exhibit took me through a range of emotions, from delight to tears

In times of crisis, I always turn to #history to see how people who came before us navigated similar events.
In these days when looking at the news feels like reading a dystopian novel, I am grateful to be playing #ÉlisabethVigéeLeBrun in #PerisphereTheater’s #MarieAntoinette: The Color of Flesh.

Baronne de Crussol Florensac by Elisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun (French) - Oil on wood panel / 1785 - Musée des Augustins (Toulouse, France) #womeninart #portrait #lebrun #art #themet #artwork #ElisabethVigéeLeBrun #oilpainting #MadameLeBrun #french #MuséedesAugustins #womanartist #womensart #fineart
The Baronne de Crussol Florensac (wife of Henri-Charles-Emmanuel de Crussol-Florensac, lieutenant general of the armies of the King of France) turns to gaze at the viewer over her shoulder. She grasps a musical score (Christoph Willibald Gluck’s Echo et Narcisse, a pastoral opera that premiered in Paris in 1779). Her copy of Gluck’s opera is not the original but rather an arrangement for voice and keyboard, an edition prepared specifically for domestic consumption and a wider appeal for a work from Marie Antoinette's preferred composer. The baroness wears a splendid bright red ensemble with lace peeking out from her three-quarter-length sleeves plus a lace fichu tucked into the bodice extending high enough to keep the back of her neck warm. A luxurious touch to the opulent attire is the black fur lining of the jacket as well as deep black velvet collar. A matching black wide-brimmed chapeau hat with a bold bright red puff on the crown dramatically frames the baroness pale face and curly blond hair for a stunningly lustrous vision of beauty, elegance, and distinction.

A long-haired, white-skinned woman seated on a forest-green couch with gold trim looks up at the viewer from the book she holds in her right hand, propped on a large pillow that matches the couch. She wears a broad brimmed hat covered in blue ribbon, and a voluminous white long-sleeved gown, with a blue ribbon around the waist that matches her hat.
