SPECIAL EXHIBITION
Harlem Renaissance
Discover works from the groundbreaking exhibition The Harlem Renaissance and Transatlantic Modernism, which explores the comprehensive and far-reaching ways in which Black artists portrayed everyday modern life.

About the Artwork

Madame Grand (Noël Catherine Vorlée, 1761-1835), 1783. Elisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun. Oil on canvas. Bequest of Edward S. Harkness, 1940.
This is one of the most captivating works by Vigée Le Brun, the most important woman artist of her time. Marie Antoinette’s patronage aided Vigée Le Brun’s admission to the Académie Royale in 1783 as one of only four women members permitted. She sent three history paintings (an exceptional genre for a woman artist) and at least ten portraits (including this one) to that year’s Salon, which served as her public debut. Madame Grand was born to a French colonial family near Pondicherry, India, and as she rose to fame for her beauty and eventual marriage to the minister and diplomat Talleyrand, admirers and critics alike exoticized her origins by giving her the epithet “l’Indienne.”
