When she was born in 1755, nothing led Marie-Antoinette to reign in France, but the hazards of European politics decided otherwise. The small Archduchess of Austria married the heir to the crown of France on May 16, 1770…
The figure of Marie-Antoinette has always been subject to many an interpretation: the “Austrian” hungry of expensive pleasures, a “victim” of the etiquette of Versailles, fanatic of macaroons…
By bringing together an outstanding collection of over 300 works (paintings, sculptures, objets d’art…) from across Europe, the exhibition sheds light on the personality and destiny of one of the last queens of France, from the Court of Austria, in Schönbrunn, to the Conciergerie, in Paris.
