How ÉLISABETH VIGÉE LE BRUN Looked in Real Life- With Animations- Mortal Faces

Hello and Welcome back to Mortal Faces! In this next video we get to see Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun who was the painter who painted A LOT of the family portraits of the French Royal Family (Louis XVI, Marie Antoinette, and their children).
In this video I took a few of her portraits and transformed them using my technology, Cinema 4d, After Effects, and Photoshop to give you my artistic interpretation/opinion on how I think she might have looked in real life. This video took me approximately 24 hours to make, repaint, animate, and render.
I also added myself talking about her and her life to make it easier to follow along.
Bonus in this video are 2 of Marie Antoinette's portraits brought to life as well as Mademoiselle Brongniart.
I hope you enjoy and thanks for watching!

    Note on the painting of Marie Antoinette & her children: the bed the child is pointing towards isn't a casket, it's a cradle. When the artist began the painting, Antoinette's youngest child was painted as sleeping in the cradle, as she was alive when it was started, but died very shortly before it was finished, and so after she died the cradle was quickly painted as empty insteas

    1. Wow, your French accent is amazing. Thank you for pronouncing things correctly! 2. Love your voice, you narrate so well. 3. Élisabeth Vigée le Brun had an interesting story, I intend to feature her in my next book. 4. Her daughter Brunette also had a rather interesting life. 5. Thank you for this video! 6. Your animations are immaculate. If only I could use it for 19th century family photographs... Madame le Brun looks just like how I imagined her!

    What a remarkable woman, way ahead of her time and a true Renaissance feminist icon . I have followed your work for a while and I love your artistic interpretations. They are quite unique and fascinating because they bring to life historic people long gone. Please do King Richard the III. Whilst we all thought of him as this ugly evil Makeavelian hunchbacked character and boom, here comes the White Queen , where he is played by the beyond gorgeous Aneurin Barnard! Thank you for your fantastic work

I’ve always felt deeply connected to her and I discovered she’s my 15th great grandmother through her eldest son from her first marriage to John Grey 😁 Thank you for all of your work ❤️

    Thank you for doing this! I really like how you worked with her various self portraits. It was fascinating to see the different phases of her life. I also liked your Marie Antoinette portraits as well. Historically, portraits showed serious expressions, because smiling was considered to be associated with silliness, giddiness or drunkenness; or at least not taking anything seriously, which was frowned upon (no pun intended LOL). If you notice, even in early photography people never smiled for their portraits. I think it wasn’t until around the 1920s that smiling became more acceptable. Madame LeBrun was her own person who did things the way she wanted to. Her daughter Julie was also a talented artist in her own right.

    I wonder about some of the portraits of the queen if she had grey hair. She's was still quite young, but, unless these were wigs, and you certainly don't see any lines, the portraits all have her with grey hair. To me, she's the only figure by Vigee Le Brun, that doesn't look quite real. I know the queen hated a lot of her portraiture, and I wonder if VLB tweaked it. Her good features, the rosy cheeks the colour of her eyes. At least she very genuinely liked/admired MA. The frocks, whether huge or just the muslin one are so detailed and true, but the face... Idk. It seems just a little cartoonish to me. I love your renditions. The slight gap in the front teeth that shows in a few off VLB's self-portraits. It's so interesting and weird to see them move. Really underlines that there's no time or space and it's all going on at once. I wish I had more thumbs to put up.

    I can't imagine how much time it takes to do what you did here but it's remarkable. I am a painter so I do have an eye for some detail and not to nitpick but in the second portrait you digitized you left the shadows under her eyes and it looks a bit creepy as those were shadows from the light source and not eye shadow make up. Anyway hope you don't mind a little critique and I thoroughly enjoyed your amazing digital interpretation of the images. Cheers

    It might be interesting to lengthen this one to include some of her non-portrait paintings, in particular her mythological & historical works. Sorry, I'm old & my memory for names is now poor, & not having an art history book handy to identify the subject of her famous work showing a Biblical beheading, I'm thinking it must be Holherphones (sp) beheaded by Deborah. This is one of the most famous of her paintings & is at least as interesting as her portraits, as this work reveals a woman's interpretation of female power quite differently than such subjects were usually interpreted by male artists of the time. A number of essays have been written about this aspect of her work, connecting this work with her own experiences with patriarchal power. Thanks for your work--your videos are wonderful!
