Portrait of the Countess Siemontkowsky Bystry (NOTE: no such noble family in Poland) In 1789 after fleeing France following the Parisian mobs march on Versailles, Vigée Le Brun set out for Italy on what would turn out to be twelve years of exile from France. There Count Wilczek, the Austrian ambassador to Milan, suggested she move to Vienna. Upon her arrival in 1792, she was warmly received in aristocratic circles, and she quickly received numerous commissions from distinguished Polish and Austrian nobles. This portrait of Countess Bystry is a wonderful example of the portraits she produced in Vienna.Polski: Anna z Rakowskich Bystra |
