Princess Marie of France worked at a period when the terms of art itself were being renegotiated.
The record lists Princess Marie of France as French princess, artist, sculptor 1813-1839.
Princess Marie of France was born at Palermo in 1813. Her recorded nationality is France.
The nineteenth century broke the academy's authority: independent exhibitions, dealers and the beginnings of modernism.
She worked as painter and sculptor.
An artist's reputation moves with taste, but the work stays exactly where it was left.
Recognition followed: Order of the Starry Cross.
That the work was made in France shaped it: artistic traditions, academies and the galleries that decide what is seen have never been evenly distributed.
Princess Marie of France died in 1839, aged 26. The work remains, hanging in collections that outlived both the artist and the market that first priced it.
