The private quarters of Marie Antoinette have long been my primary decor inspiration. Since studying abroad in Paris years ago and seeing the Château Versailles in person, I made a vow to myself that should I ever own my own Home, I will decorate it with homage to Marie Antoinette's aesthetic. I purchased my first and truly Forever Home not quite two years ago. I have been transforming it to possess numerous ornate, French and French-inspired, hyper-elegant Marie Antoinette-esque elements. It brings me such satisfying energy acquiring so much Vintage and Antiques. A documentary such as this is quite fascinating as well as motivating. 🖤
The late queen of France Marie Antoinette, the king, the children and countless others, were all Martyrs murdered by the detestable creatures of the revolution. She was a good queen, a good person and as this documentary show a talent women.
@AvecPoesie, Any decorator would tell you that disowning your time and your heritage makes copying a kitch. Are you sure that you need to follow the XVIII century French Imperatrice's taste? Maybe it is better to limit this to 1 room or 2? The next step is wearing crinolines and high wigs.
Note of Interest? The famous croissant (French for crescent) was actually brought to France by Marie from her native Austria. Years before, the Austrian Army defeated the Turkish Army near Vienna and finally sent them packing. To celebrate this great Austrian victory, the Viennese bakers created a small bread roll in the shape of the Turkish national symbol, the crescent. Thus the Viennese could tear apart this almost holy Turkish symbol and dunk it into their coffee. This is the Crescent Marie brought to France, where the name became Croissant.
I must correct you. It was not the Austrian Army but the Polish Army that defeated the Turks in the famous Siege of Vienna. The Austrian ruler wrote to the Polish King Jan Sobieski, who was later called in Europe the Saviour of Vienna. And the 1st coffee shothe beginning ps were established in Vienna utilising sacks of coffee beans left behind by retreating Turks. This was
I went on a bicycle tour of Versailles grounds and we ended at the hamlet. This was in 2018 and the grounds and buildings were so precious and well maintained, I hope it can be that way again so people can continue to experience this very special place.
well done. Her advocation for the Marriage of Figaro (and the Barber of Seville) may well have also come too late, but this doc gibes well with what research I've done into her unique qualities, and smart position in the court.
The reality is Marie A was a pawn in a political game. She did not have the mental training to play the political game. The french never liked her so there was absolutely nothing she could do right. It’s horrific what they did to her and her family no matter what she had done or said.
She really could do no right in the eyes of the French court and its people. If Marie dressed down then she was told she was insulting the institution of the French royalty. But if she were to dress in her finery then Marie was dubbed the reason for the shortage of money. There really was no way for her to please them.
Maria Antoinette favoured English and Polish dress style which was also seen as snubbing the French fashion, being a foreigner, not obeying the rules but stubbornly setting her own rules.
Envious people surround Marie Antoinette one of her weakness she tried to escape these by building her own private world rather than confronted it her life reflect my own life but escaping the envious Jealous people that surround me I confronted it and fight back no one can understand her ecentric lifestyle unless you have her character and mind
@@MY-zx6lz absolutely but that was before I'm a fighter now I pitty Marie Antoinette accuse her on something she might have not done by some people who hated her because she is not a French beheading her for false accusations to end up her reign. because she is a treat that the reason why she was beheaded I was accuse by some people of something I have never done my lawyer told me you must know how to get along with this people they think that you are rich and people who are rich have thorn and tail a demon try to study their character and try to blend in that what I did and it work they love me and those people who take advantage on my family's. Wealth I won the case and they loose One thing I learn in life never never trust anyone but myself only and god above
Marie A went thru SO MUCH judgement. There was no one she really she trusted. Yes she had friends but they can use the "thoughts" like money . Telling people things and twisting them. She was an extrovert and had a happy disposition which jealous women hated because nit only was she beautiful, rich and had the highest ranking- she "appeared" happy. And she wasnt a native born into it. She was brought in and handed everything easily with no effort ( in their minds) just give birth. So here she is- constantly judged and gossiped about. Many are almost all are exaggerated lies. She liked her husband as a friend but not a passionate love partner. He was akward with her. They saw each other as distant friends. Too different. The marriage wasnt bad just in the bed arena. Marie loved new things, art and fashion. She had no head for the value of money. She was born into wealth . I think it would have helped if she helped and visited the poor . Instead she gave over the top parties. She gave the impression she didnt care about her kingdom.
The late queen of France Marie Antoinette, the king, their children and countless others, were and are Martyrs, murdered by the detestable creatures of the revolution. She was a good queen, good person and as mentioned in this documentary a woman with talented gifts.
The Queen's house has been renovated twice but it was built without foundations on marshy ground. Everything has to be redone. It takes a lot of money for that.
Technically they used to mean the same thing a courtesan was just a female courtier, only after a prostitute called herself such in a court case did the meaning slowly change over time, like master and mistress of the house, but mistress can also mean a side lover
Why 99.9% of videos out there - even documentaries - are like that? The reason why we watch documentaries are because we want to watch something quiet!!! Extremely hard to find documentaries with music they adjusted the sound properly.
The loud music and two voices talking at the same time made it very hard to understand the dialogue. How about closed caption, since TH-cam's AI subtitles are completely off in transcribing.
Marie Antoinette was clearly self-centered, highly entitled and over the top extravagant. She was completely and utterly out of touch with real life, the people of her kingdom, and their needs. It appears as though she never gave it a single thought. Her husband, allowing her such indulgences appears to be similarly in his own world. They were building a powder keg for themselves and brought about their own demise. Such a pity.
FRANCE WAS LUCKY TO HAVE HER THERE - KEEP IN MIND = THAT SHE IS NOT FRENCH! FRANCE NEEDED HER, AND THAT WAS WHY SHE WAS FORCED TO MARRY THE TINY LITTLE MAN. SHE WAS AUTRIAN THROUGH AND THROUGH! SHE HAD EVERY RIGHT TO INDULGE - SHE DID FRANCE A FAVOR!
Marie Antoinette lived a life of misery lmao, being shipped off to a foreign country to marry some Prince at aged 13, where she was ostracized due to her Austrian descent, and her every actions being scrutinized by the French Court & Public as well from her home by her mother. The King she married was a weak man who inherited a country in crisis left by his extravagant predecessors... yes she did live an indulgent and out of touch life, but pretty much everyone in that god forsaken palace is 💀
I checked google and you are correct that the female form of Courtier is Courtesan. Never made the connection, always thought a very fancy prostitute and nothing more (such as “lady of the court”). Now it’s so obvious.
WRONG. 23:04 Marie Thérèse was NEVER called 'Princess' the French court did not use the title the same was as the UK did and still does. Don't make things up.
Maybe, she should have been tutored more for the "French-Aristocrat way" before arriving 🛬 n France. They say she was, but she needed someone to acknowledge the pedantic ways of it and give some sympathy. Then she would have time to come to terms with it. I think they just expected her to accept it. They didn't really prepare her. Not, that I'm for all of that. But, if they were, then they really should understand things whenever they make their moves in life.
MAYBE SHE WAS AND CHOSE NOT TO HAVE THEIR MENTALITY - SHE WAS NOT OBLIGATED TO CONFORM TO THE FRENCH - GOOD FOR HER TO STICK TO HER ROOTS AND WAYS! NOT BEING A SHEEP

Hope you make a blog of the progress.
You are shopping at the right time, 18th century French furniture is at a low ebb price-wise. Shipping from Europe, unfortunately remains expensive.

oh thank you so much for showing me beautiful palaces and kings and queens.
it was obviously hearty and wonderful.
Absolutely amazing channel. What a fantastic description so beautiful and poignant
I love these documentaries. Beautifully done. Thank you from Ireland 🇮🇪

What did you think of her being represented in the French Olympic games?
Well said
I totally agree with you 👍
@@FabulousCucumber-ip9hu whoever came to this idea, is totally sick person
Similar to Lady Diana and her fate used to produce an heir to the throne..

But if she were to dress in her finery then Marie was dubbed the reason for the shortage of money. There really was no way for her to please them.
If you ask me, they envied her and her position. All hatred stems from envy.
So cute!!!! It certainly needs to be restored.
This is really cool
Whoever raised that scaffolding 🏆

Something had to give. It didn’t have to happen like this though.
I love how they are doing like the original architecs did
The Queen's house has been renovated twice but it was built without foundations on marshy ground. Everything has to be redone. It takes a lot of money for that.
The queen of queens!🌹
Music too loud; covers up the monologue.
Marie Antoinette did not receive Trianon or Le Hameu until after the birth of The Dauphin I believe but she had definitely given birth to Marie Theres
Misleading English translation of what the voice-over uses from about 8:00. A courtier is DEFINITELY NOT a courtesan! Bad editorial oversight.
Technically they used to mean the same thing a courtesan was just a female courtier, only after a prostitute called herself such in a court case did the meaning slowly change over time, like master and mistress of the house, but mistress can also mean a side lover
Interesting
i may not go back but thank you.
Thank you so much for your support ☺!

I hate the overbearing music

Too loud.
Too loud.
Way too loud
I’m sure it’s something to do with copyright issues
The music is too loud, please adjust it
At time 37:19
Why did they paint them with such big eyes?!?🤔
There was some reason behind but I forgot that...😔
Because the painters, were the same people that make Japanese animation cartoons today. lol
The loud music and two voices talking at the same time made it very hard to understand the dialogue.
How about closed caption, since TH-cam's AI subtitles are completely off in transcribing.
Are there orher portraits by this artist? I am wondering if the larger eyes were fashionable ir a true likeness.
Nice to know she had a job. Making a garden. At least she could do something right.
lol
Omg
That hair

The only reason Marie got blamed for anything is bc her weak husband was too scared to tax the rich. What a floozy
LIKE MANY MORE WEAK MEN THAT WERE AND ARE HEAD OF FRANCE!
ook alles heeft een einde
Okeyyyy pijoe
Courtier not courtesan

You are aware she did not ever say this?
AND THAT WAS NEVER SAID!
