Marie-Antoinette
metamorphoses of an image
Exhibition produced and presented by the Centre des monuments nationaux at the Conciergerie
16 October 2019 - 26 January 2020
There has been a profusion of representations of Marie-Antoinette, from her lifetime right up to the present day. It is as if each era, each group, has wanted to construct “its” queen, from foreign traitor to martyr figure, from adolescent heroine to bigoted mother, from cultured woman to fashion icon, or as if each country has created its own vision of Marie-Antoinette, who is as popular in Japan as in the United States, in England as in Italy. She may have seemed to be out of step with the France of her time, which understood her little, but her figure has subsequently blossomed in the cult imagination, and particularly in the last few years. Marie-Antoinette has become the historical figure most commented on in books, biographies and films, most represented by contemporary artists and most recycled in furnishings, mirrors, dolls, manga, novels, advertisements and video games.
Why this profusion of images? Why does the fate of this princess lend itself to the many fantasies of today? Probably because she has become the symbol of the mistreated woman, condemned to unhappiness. Through her birth into the most privileged circles in Europe and her desire in spite of this to live an independent life, and then through her encounter with History, which conferred on her a political role while condemning her to a blighted future, Marie-Antoinette touches a powerful emotional nerve. This has given the queen a double identity: she is not only the “poor little rich girl” who highlights the sentimentality of today, but also a persona exemplifying the construction of that ambivalent value in the public arena, the “celebrity”. Taking a historical and comparative approach, and with a critical look at forms, the exhibition illustrates and offers an insight into this global over-mediatisation of Marie-Antoinette and her kitsch revival.
Antoine de Baecque, curator Historian and specialist in the culture of the Enlightenment and the French Revolution, Antoine de Baecque has published Le Corps de l'histoire. He recently published Histoires d'amitié (Payot, 2014), En d’atroces souffrances. Pour une histoire de la douleur (Alma, 2015). He explores the fashionable nightlife of Paris in Les Nuits parisiennes XVIIIe-XXIe siècles (Seuil, 2105).
