Summary "Souvenirs de Madame Louise-Élisabeth Vigée-Lebrun, Tome second" by Vigée-Lebrun is a historical account written in the early 19th century. This work represents the reflections and memoirs of the prominent portrait painter from the 18th century, chronicling her travels across Italy and her experiences within artistic circles of the time. As a significant female artist, Vigée-Lebrun offers insights into the challenges she faced and the influential figures she encountered, making this volume an important narrative in the history of art. The opening of the memoir begins with Vigée-Lebrun's reflections on her past and the impact of personal loss, which delayed the continuation of her work. She recounts her journey through Turin, where she faced travel difficulties and was graciously hosted by a local professor, Porporati. Throughout her travels across Italian cities, she admires famed artworks and beauty in architecture, describing her encounters with various artistic masterpieces and notable personalities, including her eventual arrival in the splendid city of Rome. This portion of the text sets the stage for her artistic journey, while also emphasizing her personal experiences and emotional responses to the beauty surrounding her.
