Where it came from
Published in 2018 by Routledge as part of the Taylor & Francis Group, this academic monograph originated from Sarah Grant’s specialized research into the intersections of art history, gender, and political power in late 18th-century France. The work examines how Marie Antoinette utilized portraiture not merely as a decorative pursuit, but as a sophisticated tool for self-representation and political agency within a volatile court environment.
The text is part of a broader scholarly endeavor to reframe the agency of aristocratic women in pre-revolutionary France. Grant’s analysis focuses on the interplay between the Queen and her circle of female patrons and artists, exploring how these commissions challenged contemporary perceptions of status and femininity. The book is recognized for its detailed archival approach and its contribution to the nuanced historical discourse surrounding the last Queen of France's public image.
