marie antoinette

Tag details

Marie Antoinette was the Austrian-born queen of France's Louis XVI about whom many romantic legends have grown since she died on the guillotine on October 16, 1793.

Bloggers can be reviewing books about her. Or they may be reviewing the Sofia Coppola film Marie Antoinette, or presenting their own re-imaginings of the famous queen.

She's still, even today, being used as a metaphor for bloated excess, while admirers lament the loss of objects associated with her.

But don't be too sympathetic, for she's answering back with a blog of her own.

  • Marie Antoinette painted by Boze


    Madame Guillotine — Authority Authority: 417
    Marie Antoinette painted by Joseph Boze. This rather unflattering and flat faced portrait was commissioned by her husband Louis XVI in December 1784 to the tune of 2,400 livres, which is peanuts compared to the 18,000 livres that Madame Vigée-Lebrun received for her painting of the Queen with her children. Filed ...

    Mr. Harvey of Royal World aptly expresses the disgust many admirers of Marie-Antoinette feel as the late queen is once more publicly degraded .
