@rockinamber18 hehe you've got a point! :) Marie Antoinette was a strawberry blond (a little reddish), and Du Barry was golden blond (yellow blond). But, as you have said, their hair looks grey... this is because, in court paintings, they had to wear whitish powder in their hair, as was the fashion those days :)
@maryann799 true, beauty in fashion today only brings excitement when seen on film or maybe during a dressing-up occasion... but I truly believe these women were somewhat of no normal appearance. such girls of high rank who were unattractive were sent off to high-class nunneries... as for the case of Jeanne, she is described as a very beautiful woman of her day & age as to be a notoriously famous courtesan. to be so, one must have the necessary tools, as is the case of looks.
@narutofan913 i used to believe that too of Antoinette, but not compared to Du Barry since i was not well acquainted with her. but when i became very much well informed of Du Barry's life, I came to strongly believe that, although Antoinette was surely attractive, Jeanne was all the more.
personality; Antoinette was brought up as a princess & Jeanne had no choice but to be a harlot, yet when circumstances came for her to become Louis XV's mistress, it is mentioned how she had not much difficulty in taking the role of a lady, and both women were known to be charitable, although spendthrifts at an incredible level!
the future queen came the paris a 14 yr old chickenhead. and married the future king. a man who could not make good decisions. the countries future was sealed some 20 yrs before the revolution started. on their wedding day.
in all the movies about french revolution, they always make marie antoinette looks more beautiful than madame du barry, but in reality, madame du barry had more beauty than marie antoinette, and she was jealous of her because of that
@tatianaf1000 It is true that Madame du Berry was more beautiful than the Queen. However, the reason the Queen-to-be did not like du Berry was because of her low birth rank (bastard) and her lacked of protocol at the place.
She only spoke to Madame du Berry once as a princess. Royals from that period were extremely snobby.
@diessemia I wouldn't think Jeanne was jealous of Marie's position- she had everything she loved in her position as mistress. As for Marie, she needed sex to beget what was needed to maintain the Franco-Austrian alliance, but couldn't get any! As for Jeanne du Barry, well... we all know what a royal mistress is for!
The reason Marie 'couldn't get any' was because Louis had a medical problem which meant it made it painful for him to try and conceive. That's one reason why Louis never had any mistresses. Another reason was that he wasn't really as sex-obsessed as his grandfather had been. But in the end, obviously Marie became more attractive to her husband because she did have four children after all!
Its sad that Madame Du Barry and Marie died on the guillotine. :(
@tatianaf1000@tatianaf1000 Not only because of that. True, la Du Barry was much prettier than Marie Antoinette, but the fact that she went from a low-ranked prostitute to a powerful royal mistress without even having an aristocratic name or a legitimate title made her all the more worth of dislike to the eyes of the Dauphine.
In French history, the large majority of royal mistresses were born aristocrats,deserving the right to assist the royal family in court.
Congratulations!A wonderful drawings in different colours.They seemes to tell the story from the sensual flesh and a joyful pink to the tragic grey and red.It's just my impression!Thank You!Greetings to Beautiful Maltese ;-)!
true :)...she was quite the beauty with a sexual charisma a famed courtesan like her could have had! :), she was only 26 when she became his mistress, whilst he was around 70!
I read that she had light brown hair but the powder she used on her face she would spread to her hair giving her hair a blonde colour on top and the rest a lighter brown tone.
@oceanblueeyes87 well. you don't come back from where she was about to go, and to be put to death by any means can be and would be frighting. i really dislike her servant (the asshole) for ratting her out and having her jailed, which lead to her death. she was a gold digging chick. not a monster.
@itsmister2u Zamor was very ungrateful, true. She might have been a pain sometimes, after letting that life get to her. but i do not picture her anything like a straight-laced bitch as in Coppola's Marie Antoinette, nor as cold-hearted as in the Lady Oscar cartoons. She MAY have had a touch of gold-digger in her, but all her life was more of a pawn since her installment at Du Barry's residence. During her years as mistress she squandered- but then again the Treasury was at her disposal!
@oceanblueeyes87 you only have to turn on the tv set to see the latest reality show of people with money and or power and think that because of it they are above the rules. du berry worked her way into a circle of people who you'd think had good decision making qualities. but being born rich and powerful is proof of just that. you were born rich and powerful. being wise and decerning is learned. she is no different that the Kardashians ect. pretty,charming and empty.
well, Jeanne was born extremely poor, and after being well manipulated by those around her until becoming royal mistress, she never forgot her background which, contrariwise to what you said, she did in fact have a heart and felt herself above no one. I never saw the Kardashians myself, but if they are anything like these blonde air-headed idiotettes, Du Barry was by no means so. She was extremely pretty, very charming but well educated as opposed to what might be thought due to her poor origin
great video and background,
what a vivid oboe!

Bello! L'hanno spesso dipinta come una strega, invece era solo una donna molto bella che con il suo fascino era riuscita ad uscire dalla miseria.
E' morta perchè troppo buona e soprattutto ingenua.

unfortunately, all movies where she is concerned have, somehow, always been played by brunettes...but it's a mistake.
all reports of her during her time always described her as a blond femme fatale :)
