Landschaft, die die Maas in der Nähe der Gemeinde Aiglemon zeigt
Elisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun
Famous for painting Marie Antoinette, Elisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun traded the glittering French court for the wild, winding banks of the Meuse River in this surprisingly rugged scene. You can almost feel the wind whipping through the lone, bent tree on the left as a solitary figure gazes out over the dramatic, cloud-filled valley. It's a refreshing departure from her usual glamorous portraits, revealing a softer, more contemplative side of the artist as she captures the raw, pastoral beauty of the Aiglemont commune.
