Campan is nothing bad, if its right, of course. More than she really deserved. Best example was eg Count de Mercy with his letter to her mother. At least not in the case MA herself. Cause when i look through your blog you traust almost all the time in her. And actually she is one of the very rare people which drew MA in a real realitsic way. As said, they wants to see her like the most beautiful woman cause she was queen.
If MA would be a simply woman from the folk, nobody would ever noted her. And sadly Marie Josepha never got the chance for to be it. For MA skin… Its funny cause when she was young eg 14 she had great problems with it. Thats why Louis XV. And for the first meeting they powdered her face very strong to cover it.
I certainly agree re: It is important thought to note that in regard to the croissant she never says exactly which bread MA ate. That is the bread that was always considered the pinnacle of Viennese bread-making itself the pinnacle of European bread-making. Having researched the croissant and now the baguette, I know way more about all this than a healthy person should. I love the portrait which I find far more credible, fond as I am of Vigee-Lebrun in general. V-L did say that MA had a skin quality that no one ever captured. But one might almost mistake the Swedish portrait for one of her formidable mother.
Regarding Madame Campan, I often quote her, but I also at times take her statements with a grain of salt see for instance my series on the daughters of Louis XV, where I question her judgment on some of the princesses. She is an indispensable witness but indeed she is not always reliable. She may exaggerate, or be blinded by prejudice when she likes, or does not like someone. I am careful to point this out whenever I think it is the case. However, as for the breakfast habits of the Queen, I see no reason not to trust her. Bonjour Madame, I returned yesterday from France and i find your blog by accident and its with one things nice.
Not really new information for me in personal, but nice. And yes sadly the Coppola movies let many many people believe what it shows about MA. And that where these movie have more than 30 mistakes. Cause the information of her view is not really always the truth about MA. She lived in her Illusion like many other too, which hoped to get any good advantages eg.. Also the article of Louise-Elisabeth Vigee-Lebrun. Cause one of my very best french friends studie like me french history to become a teacher and one of the biggest fans of Vigee-Lebrun had read to me, that she really admire her skin cause of the color, yes, but that she actually just did the job for her family.
And that MA had a terrible forehead. To large and unfavourable. Thats why the gave her the advice to draw her with an hat on the one with the white muslin dress. It was maybe not right to forejudge at the beginning when she arrived France, but for that their were a lot of reasons in the french history. And for the king. I wish Louis XVI. And his mother wished for him too. Actually, pretty as the myth is, the best one can say is that she MAY have eaten kipfel the ancestor of the croissant in France. But, having discovered that the croissant is not mentioned as a bread or pastry until the middle of the nineteenth century, I kept digging and discovered that an Austrian did indeed bring the kipfel to Paris, but in August Zang was an artillery officer whose Boulangerie Viennoise became wildly popular, so that French imitators soon sprang up and the French name the kipfel for its crescent croissant shape.

He may in fact have tried to get his name taken off the bakery. The kipfel itself existed in Austria many centuries before the siege which is so often credited with prompting its invention. Agreed about historical accuracy in film, Eva! Your reaction was exactly the right one. Glad to know I was right! And, Elena, what was most misleading was that the whole thing was supposed to be based on a work of non-fiction.

I am afraid many people now picture Marie-Antoinette looking and acting like Kirsten Dunst…. Thank you so much, Kim! Here is the link:. What an interesting and enjoyable website you have! We just visited Versailles for the fourth time the other day. I enjoy it more each time I go, as I learn more and more about French history. Your site would make great reading for anyone considering a visit.
I recently wrote my little bit about viennoiserie if anyone is interested in what other pastries are included in this category. Yes, Catherine, that is one of the many things that annoyed me about that film is all the pastries, when it is recorded that the Queen are sparingly. They even show her eating sweets while receiving Count Mercy. As if she would have done such a thing….. Click here to cancel reply. Mail will not be published.
