Story/Statement:
This queen of France was losing her head over cake and diamond necklaces and then she indeed lost it. Marie-Antoinette’s story gets sadder and sadder the more one thinks of how unfair was to ask of 14-year-olds to hold alliances in their wombs, 20-year-olds to rein, and queens to not be opulent, especially when they were never brought up with this much expectation or ambition. Marie-Antoinette went from being the most hated French queen to being the most famous queen in the world. Extravagance, scandals, unjust rumors, and a tragic end, her life has everything a good novel needs and that’s why it fascinates so many people, so many years ago.
“From all Versailles, I felt most captivated in Marie-Antoinette’s bedroom. The fabrics and the color palette were so inspiring and romantic. I wished I could be in the room alone and meditate” the artist says and she continues “a luxury even the queen often didn’t have because of the etiquette that demanded so much of her life to be public. Suffocating…”
