This Iconic Painting Destroyed Her Life. Here's Why.
This piece is called Madame X by John Singer Sargent. This portrait was the painter’s attempt at making a name for himself. But what seemed like an opportunistic move led John Singer Sargent to flee the country and destroyed the model’s reputation forever. The sitter is Virginie Avegno Gautreau. She outraged Paris when she posed for a portrait that showed her strap falling off her shoulder. In the late 19th century, this was not something a married woman did.

Hi friends! A new video is dropping tomorrow and I’m so excited for you to see it! Here’s a little sneak peek at the painting. Can you guess what it might be? I also want to take a moment to say how incredibly grateful I am for each of you who watches these videos. It still amazes me that I get to connect with such thoughtful, insightful, and kind people over a painting that’s over 200 years old (oops! another spoiler). I hope you enjoy the video as much as I enjoyed creating it. ❤️
