The patronage of Queen Marie Antoinette


Artnet News has an interesting article linked to the current V&A exhibition Marie Antoinette Style which is running until March 22nd. 
 
The article looks at the Queen’s patronage of the arts
at Versailles, notably the Petit Trianon and Le Hameau, as well as artists and the world of fashion. It also looks at her charitable patronage, which was similar to that of her contemporaries as monarchs elsewhere in late eighteenth century Europe.
