Marie-Victoire Lemoine (1754 – December 2, 1820) was a French classicist painter.


Life

Born in Paris, Marie-Victoire Lemoine was the eldest daughter of Charles Lemoine and Marie-Anne Rousselle.[1] Her sisters, Marie-Denise Villers and Marie-Élisabeth Gabiou, also became painters. However, unlike her sisters, she remained unmarried and became one of the few women in contemporary art that made a living through painting.[2]

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 Elisabeth Vigée-Lebrun's studio. From 1779, Marie-Victoire Lemoine resided 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 year after her last exhibition, aged sixty-six.[3]


Work

Marie-Victoire Lemoine mainly painted portraits, miniatures, and genre scenes. She took part in numerous Salons,[4] for example Pahin de la Blancherie's Salon de Correspondance in 1779,[5] where she exhibited a portrait of the Princess Lamballe (57 x 45 cm). Following this salon, she continued to display her works of art to the public in the salons of 1796, 1798, 1799, 1802, 1804 and 1814.[6]
