The Victoria and Albert Museum in London is set to present two major exhibitions, one of which will celebrate the unique taste and style of the well-known Queen of France, Marie-Antoinette. Scheduled for late September, this exhibition aims to provide new perspectives on the famous queen and her aesthetic universe, which is described as fleeting, light, and even frivolous, yet characterized by excessive yet refined luxury.

Marie-Antoinette, born in 1755 and tragically beheaded in 1793, is one of the most famous queens of France. Her aesthetic, often overlooked due to her controversial reign, is the subject of much intrigue and debate. Historian Cécile Berly, in her book "Le Cavalier Bleu" (2012), describes Marie-Antoinette's aesthetic as a significant aspect of her life and reign.

The exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum will draw on Berly's insights, offering visitors a chance to delve into the complexities of Marie-Antoinette's style. The exhibition will span two galleries in the South Kensington museum, showcasing a variety of artefacts that reflect the queen's unique taste.

The aesthetic universe of Marie-Antoinette is often associated with opulence and extravagance, yet her art of living daily borders on the illusion of simplicity. This dichotomy is expected to be further illustrated in the exhibition, offering visitors a chance to appreciate the intricacies of her style.

The Victoria and Albert Museum is renowned for its exhibitions on various aspects of art and design, and this exhibition promises to be no exception. Visitors can expect to gain a deeper understanding of Marie-Antoinette's aesthetic, and perhaps gain new insights into the queen herself.

In addition to the exhibition about Marie-Antoinette, the Victoria and Albert Museum will also present another exhibition focusing on a specific aspect of French style. Details about this exhibition are yet to be announced, but it is sure to be an exciting addition to the museum's calendar.

For those interested in the life and times of Marie-Antoinette, or simply in the art and culture of the 18th century, the exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum is not to be missed. It promises to be a fascinating exploration of a fascinating queen and her unique aesthetic.
