Marie Antoinette.(Report from Europe)(an exhibition centered on Marie Antoinette at the Galeries nationales du Grand Palais in Paris)
The Austrian-born ill-fated queen of France has been subject to a number of interpretations. Was she just a flighty and extravagant princess used as a political pawn or was she a scheming agent of her country of origin? On her arrival in France in 1770 the new queen was received with open arms: she was young and beautiful, and brought to the stifling French court a breath of fresh air. Later, however, her reputation began to suffer greatly due to her extravagance, and then to her seeming indifference to the plight of ordinary people. Her subsequent nickname of l'Autrichienne--the Austrian--was not a term of endearment. One view of Marie Antoinette is that she was a victim of circumstances. She was cocooned at Versailles, and her further retreat to the Petit Trianon removed her even more from reality.
