Marie-Victoire Lemoine (French: [ma.ʁi vik.twaʁ lə.mwan]; 1754 – 2 December 1820) was a French classicist painter.

Life

Born in Paris, Marie-Victoire Lemoine was the eldest daughter of four sisters to Charles Lemoine and Marie-Anne Rousselle.[1] Her sisters, Marie-Denise Villers and Marie-Élisabeth Gabiou, also became painters. She was first cousins with Jeanne-Elisabeth Chaudet through her Mother's side.[1] Unlike her sisters, she remained unmarried and became one of the few women in contemporary art that made a living through painting.

She was a student of François-Guillaume Ménageot in the early 1770s, with whom she lived and worked in a house acquired by the art dealer Jean-Baptiste-Pierre Lebrun, next to the studio of Élisabeth-Louise Vigée-Le Brun (1755–1842), France's leading woman painter. From 1779, Marie-Victoire Lemoine lived in her parents' home until she moved in with her sister Marie-Elisabeth, where she remained even after her sister's death. She died six years after her last exhibition, aged sixty-six. At the time of her death, she only left 10 Francs in cash and clothing and Linen valued at 181 Francs and 50 Centimes,[1] which amounts to only $40.66 U.S dollars in cash and $4,290.68 for the clothing and Linen in today's currency.[2]

Work

Marie-Victoire Lemoine mainly painted portraits, miniatures, and genre scenes.[3] She was most active in the art community during the late 1780's and the early 1790's.[1] Lemoine set up her first salon in 1774.[4] She took part in numerous Salons,[5] for example, her first solo exhibition was held at Pahin de la Blancherie's Salon de Correspondance in 1779,[6] where she exhibited a now untraced portrait of the Princess Lamballe (57 x 45 cm).[7] Five years after the Parisian Salon allowed Women to participate, she exhibits there for the first time in 1796. [4] She continued to display her works of art to the public in the salons of 1796, 1798, 1799, 1802, 1804 and 1814.
