Elisabeth Vigee Lebrun – Lady Hamilton as a Bacchante
This portrait represents a remarkable collaboration between two fascinating female figures in 18th-century Europe. Though she spoke begrudgingly of the free-spirited and often scandalous figure of Lady Hamilton, Elisabeth Vigee Lebrun painted her multiple times. Vigee Lebrun was one of the only successful professional female artist of the 18th century, and was a favoured portrait of Marie Antoinette during her controversial reign as queen of France. In this more light-hearted commission, Vigee Lebrun pictures the frivolity of Lady Hamilton as a Bacchante, a companion to god of wine.
