Marie Antoinette. The Rise and Fall of the Queen of France

A gift edition about the life of Marie Antoinette for those who are interested in history, love beautiful book illustrations, and appreciate books that are not only meant to be read but also admired.

Marie Antoinette entered history as one of the most discussed queens of France. Her name is surrounded by myths: court intrigues, scandals, accusations of extravagance, and a tragic end during the French Revolution.

In this book, her life is depicted through personal details: letters, facts, the atmosphere of the era, and the everyday life of the royal court. Before the reader is the journey of a young Austrian Archduchess, who became the Dauphine of France and then the queen, whose fate was closely tied to the fall of the old world.

The illustrations by Loputyn add a special expressiveness to the edition - delicate, graceful, and slightly dark. They convey the beauty of Rococo, the fragility of court life, and the drama of Marie Antoinette's story.
