Marie Antoinette, Reine de la mode et du goût

Rate this book
Beaux arts et mode

Au royaume de Marie-Antoinette, les ministres sont couturières, ébénistes, bronziers ou peintres. Impliquée personnellement dans la confection de ses toilettes, dans la décoration de ses appartements ou l'aménagement de ses jardins, la reine entend vivre au goût du jour quand elle ne lance pas elle-même une mode, fût-ce en transgressant les convenances attachées à son rang. Aux raffinements d'un style français porté à son meilleur, elle ajoute sa touche propre à grand renfort de fleurs et de perles. Parfois déguisée en actrice ou en fermière, la souveraine rebelle n'obéit à d'autres lois que celles dictées par son bon plaisir... sans s'inquiéter des conséquences.

Köpte ärligt talat boken för bildernas skull, vill man läsa om MA:s stil och smak rekommenderar jag Webers bok.

Good introduction to 18th century fashion history, furniture, and the artistic styles of Marie Antoinette's time, but perhaps repetitive for people who are already very familiar with this period. Plenty of pictures as well. Not actually a huge amount of text. Quick, easy read.

Style and Taste is an understatement. Seeing the images of the dresses and her personal belongings was stunning. Plus seeing her furniture was an added bonus. I love the Rococo style. The book was very informative and educational.

I’m obsessed with the Rococo style and Marie Antoinette. I love this book, which shows her dresses, furniture, and her belongings. It’s a quick, easy read with beautiful pictures, and the perfect addition to my research library.
