샬 호수와 몽블랑의 풍경
Elisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun
1807-1808
Fleeing the French Revolution, portrait superstar Elisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun found herself wandering the Swiss Alps, trading royal sitters for breathtaking mountain vistas. Here, she captures the serene Lake of Challes with the towering, snow-capped Mont Blanc looming in the misty distance. A tiny figure stands on a small bridge near the central tree, emphasizing the sheer scale of the wild landscape. The soft, chalky textures and moody greens give the scene a dreamy quality, proving that the woman who painted Marie Antoinette's famous smile had a serious talent for nature, too.
