    A remarkably influential 18th century woman's life
    This documentary was a very nice overview of the life of this remarkable artist. Not only was she talented with a paintbrush, she apparently had other gifts that made her a successful and resilient woman of her time.

    As someone interested in historical re-enactment and who seeks out many of the late 18th century portraits of women, it was fascinating to hear more about Vigée Le Brun's techniques, subjects, and strategies. I was unaware of her influence on the late century fashions and styles that have totally colored my understanding of this period.

    It was also a remarkable overview of a crucial period in French history, as we follow her through the complex trajectory of her 87 year life.

    A visual treat and a historical gem. Worth your time.
