Art Is Awesome: Today, Emily features a conversation with writer and art historian Bridget Quinn. Bridget discusses her latest book ‘Portrait of a Woman,’ which delves into the life of Adelaide Labille-Guiard, a pioneering 18th-century artist. She shares her journey of discovering Adelaide’s work, her challenges in a male-dominated Royal Academy, and her rivalry with Marie Antoinette’s painter, Elisabeth Vigée Le Brun. The episode also includes an exploration of how art and letters were used to reconstruct Adelaide’s story and a touching discussion of how Bridget’s own experiences shaped her writing. This episode highlights essential themes of art, feminism, rivalry, and the force of Adelaide’s will against significant odds.
Vulgar History: Adélaïde Labille-Guiard, aka Adélaïde Des Vertus was one of the greatest female painters in 18th-century France. The path was not easy for female painters in 18th-century France, especially when you were born working-class like she was. But her knack at making friends, a PR rivalry with another painter, and the excellence of her work ensured she made a living in art… until the French Revolution.
