The article that i read was unusually boring and intriguing at the same time. I read on a famous women artist durning the Revolutionary France (1783). Her name was Vigee Le Brun, her extraordinary paintings were for families of high prestige. She incorporated mostly females into her paintings and restricted the artifice of Neo-Classicism and Lightness. Doing this she developed her own style of naturalism. Preferable i enjoy impressionism, but to the skill of this women and the time where she accomplished such talent is beyond me.
