      It is now thought to have originally been a portrait of one of her elder sisters that was then later retouched to turn it into Marie Antoinette. The pastel by Ducreux of 1769 is probably a more accurate likeness although it allegedly took him five attempts to capture any close resemblance.

    Its funny because I recognized her instantly without reading the title... I always found it hard to imagine what her face really looked like. Her portraits seems so... weird? That is until I visited Versailles and saw her buste at Petite Trianon. She had the Habsburg jaw, really big eyes and a high forehead. Later on she also had, what we’d now call a third chin! It was considered beautiful back then. Marie Antoinette was very Pretty.

      Initially the French people loved her as times were not so hard. It was only later, due to her ignoring so many in the court, that she was turned upon. Many of the common people loved her as she helped them in a number of ways - she even “adopted” a poor child, she taught her own children to be kind to others, and she gave money. It was the nobles who were petty and turned on her. A tragic life, nonetheless.

      If you are black, you have to know that Marie antoinette was very generous with colored people, which was exceptional at that time.
      Marie-Antoinette has received and raised a black boy (a Senegalese). She gave him a refined education in Versailles, near Paris. She called him "Jean Amilcar", because she wanted him to be considered as a French, despite his skin color.
      Even after she had to leave Versailles, she had continued to pay the education of this senegalese boy. And she paid it with her own money. And when Marie-Antoinette understood that she will be executed (assassinated) by these proto-communists ("jacobins"), she asked a friend of her to make sure that the education of this black child continues to be paid to him and that he continues to be protected, even after she died.
      I am French. You have to remember that, at that time, almost all of Europeans were racists.
      Queen of France Marie-Antoinette was literaly an exception. She wanted to be generous, even with the simple farmers, even with the commoners, and even with black people.
      Another anecdote : despite the segregation and against the will of all aristocrats, Marie-Antoinette has protected a mulato, Who was called "Chevalier de Saint George". Marie-Antoinette made him her music director. And after that, she appointed him to head of l'Opéra Royal, in Paris.
      Really, Marie-Antoinette was very generous with all people, she felt closer to the French People than to the parasitic aristocracy of her time.
      She was against racism, which is common nowadays but was exceptional at that time. Really, She was a great Queen for France and for Humanity.

Many reports from ambassadors stated that she was delightful to talk to and was down-to-Earth.

    This videocast superbly brings the past to the present as we see another historical figure coming alive from an oil paiting. Moreover, we understand more clearly why this happened. Marie Antoinette had not formed a bond with the people of France. She disdained them, and didn't realize that to be Queen of France, the people need to see compassion from her.

      Not true. She was nothing like she has been depicted as. This was attested to by her personal servants who all adored her and looked up to her. She did much to help the French peasants and even adopted a French orphan whose grandparents couldn't afford to keep him and all his siblings after their parents died. Marie took him in as her own child and paid for his education and let him live in luxury at court. She also took responsibility for educating her own children, whom she made invite French peasant children to play and take meals with them, so they would learn about others less fortunate than themselves and to treat everyone as equals. This is how her own mother brought her and her siblings up, and every Xmas and birthday among the hundreds of gifts they received they were only allowed to keep one and had to give the ret away to poor local children. They also were made to invite poor children to play and share meals with them. Marie was so kind and charitable to the poor while at that the French court that the king, her father in law chided her.........

    She had a very protruding Habsburg jaw. Her skull was therefore easily identified.

      If you are black, you have to know that Marie antoinette was very generous with colored people, which was exceptional at that time.
      Marie-Antoinette has received and raised a black boy (a Senegalese). She gave him a refined education in Versailles, near Paris. She called him "Jean Amilcar", because she wanted him to be considered as a French, despite his skin color.
      Even after she had to leave Versailles, she had continued to pay the education of this senegalese boy. And she paid it with her own money. And when Marie-Antoinette understood that she will be executed (assassinated) by these proto-communists ("jacobins"), she asked a friend of her to make sure that the education of this black child continues to be paid to him and that he continues to be protected, even after she died.
      I am French. You have to remember that, at that time, almost all of Europeans were racists.
      Queen of France Marie-Antoinette was literaly an exception. She wanted to be generous, even with the simple farmers, even with the commoners, and even with black people.
      Another anecdote : despite the segregation and against the will of all aristocrats, Marie-Antoinette has protected a mulato, Who was called "Chevalier de Saint George". Marie-Antoinette made him her music director. And after that, she appointed him to head of l'Opéra Royal, in Paris.
      Really, Marie-Antoinette was very generous with all people, she felt closer to the French People than to the parasitic aristocracy of her time.
      She was against racism, which is common nowadays but was exceptional at that time. Really, She was a great Queen for France and for Humanity.

      @@philippehenriot8245 thanks for that review. I'm of African descent. I too have respect for Marie because of her attitude towards blacks and people of color. But let us look at the bigger picture, therefore my added review here, is in order.The Jacobin's ideology of the rights of man like America's, was largely drawn from the enlightenment movement, this led to the Jacobins being anti-slavery despite their state terror infamy...and how ironic it is that... enlightenment America perpetuated (the) slavery that revolutionary France via the Jacobin party eschewed. This fact is not widely known by amateur historians. I too am angry at the Jacobins for executing the beautiful Marie-antoinette, But the zeitgeist (spirit of the times) of that era was changing, which led ultimately to the displacement of the ancien régime (Old régime) a régime to which Marie-antoinette belongs. The ancien régime was a monarchial system that was pro-slavery ...despite Marie's kindness to blacks. So then.. thanks should also be given for the successes of the french (and American revolution) for the destruction of those old monarchial (and hence slavery) systems. Without that destruction bills of rights probably would never have been written. I should also Note that the ideological underpinnings of enlightenment rationalism that ignited the french and American revolution... ultimately led to the abolishment of slavery. The american constitution, I must also add, have embedded within it enlightenment ideals that greatly helped the abolitionists cause, and for that we give thanks.

The French Revolution is a very complex phenomenon, I was refering to the most radical and criminal men of this revolution. I didn't refer to the "Philosophes des Lumières", which was also a complex period. For instance, nobody in history was more racist than Voltaire. And je his still considered as the main ideological source of the Revolution.
      When I spoke by using the expression "proto-communist", I had on my mind the Terror, not the Declaration des droits de l'Homme.
      And I didn't defend monarchy, even if monarchy was not more for slavery than America, where a lot of black people had to work in plantations.
      In my first message, the only thing that I wanted to defend was the kindness of Marie-Antoinette. And her generosity. As I wrote, at that time, almost all Europeans (but also colored people) were racist.
