Shyness wasn't the only reason that Marie-Antoinette didn't get pregnant. Apparently the king had a physical defect which made sex impossible. This was corrected by a minor surgical procedure and they finally had children. But she was the one who was blamed and ridiculed for not producing an heir.
Yes, he had phimosis. And that's also true that he wasn't very interested with sex (it's very very unusual for a French king) , certainly because he had been educated this way, because Louis XV had so many lovers who were a danger for the Crown.
I don’t know why, but I’ve always felt so sorry for her. She didn’t deserve anything that happened to her. That poor girl, all alone in a foreign country, everyone lying to and judging her, intentionally giving her bad advice, then everything gets blamed on her. She is accused of incest and her children were thrown to the streets, only to have her head chopped off. How fucking terrible.
Yeah I feel the same. Watched some documentary's that really changed my preconceptions about her. Sure she wasn't perfect but she had a good heart and did alot of good despite being lavish at times. All in all a good and Nobel Queen more importantly a good person I'd think.
She looked so much older than her years in her final portraits, she must have been under so much stress. I don't condone the excessive spending whilst the French people were starving, but I don't think it's fair to pin all of France's financial difficulties on her, she was merely a scapegoat. Also her being constantly judged at court would have made her want to spend even more money on stuff to cheer herself up, and most of us can relate to that!
Fr that part of the revolution always annoys me when reading. So many nobles were scum but for some reason they used her especially as a punching bag. Idk if this is true or not, but I read that her last words were an apology to the executioner for stepping on his foot. maybe she was more ignorant of the lower classes suffering than downright evil. Either way we’ll never know
Great video! She was no doubt beautiful; however, one physical attribute that is conspicuously absent in her oil portraits (probably due to the limitations of the genre) was her moderate Habsburg lip. This notorious trait was shared by both Spanish and Austrian factions of the Habsburg dynasty; which, unfortunately, gave observers the superficial impression that she possessed a haughty demeanour (but contrary to widespread anti-monarchist propaganda, she actually had a warm personality, even ebullient according to contemporary accounts within the court). Nevertheless, the slight forward jut in her lower jaw that apparently gave her an air of imperial hauteur was a facial phenotype more accurately rendered and evident in her marble busts. One can also see evidence of this recessive Habsburg trait in Jacques-Louis David’s live sketch of her being carted to the guillotine.
NOT ALL Habsburgs had it. Some didn't and were actually handsome or beautiful as Marie Antonia. Case in point was Philip "the Fair" or "Le Beau" (Fair looking) between his very Habsburg looking son, the emperor Karl V and his father, Kaiser Max who had a larger lower jaw and lip overbiting the upper one even more exaggeratedly, altogether with larger falcon beak nose. You have to remember that these people married with many other princely Dynasties without such peculiar physiognomies and that it was recessive, only when inbreeding within 2 degrees will show strongly
@samantha ssmith Her father was from the House of Lorraine (Empress Maria-Theresa being the last direct Habsburg monarch). While the main legitimate male line of the Austrian Habsburg ended with Charles IV, this does not preclude the inheritance of recessive genotypic (made even more dominant though the Habsburg family’s long tradition of marrying within the bloodline) traits passed through via mitochondrial DNA from the maternal line. Admittedly, while she seems to have been spared the more pronounced iterations of the Habsburg jaw, a modest protrusion is still apparent in her facial structure concerning the lower mandibular and orbicularis oris, lending her somewhat of a perpetual pout or air of superiority. This phenotypic heritage were consistent with both contemporary busts and first hand biographical accounts of the Queen’s appearance.
Thank you for pointing out their philanthropy. Marie Antoinette was a kind person who tried to but couldnt escape from the court intrigues that contributed to her downfall.
Your description pf her personality reminds me alot my Mom. She loved partying when she was younger, still loves to spend even today, but is the sweetest and most philanthropic person ever. She volunteers, encouraged me to volunteer, and even works as nurse.
Ive heard that she didnt even spend that much compared to others in the court. Its really sad how her image has been twisted when really she wasn't that bad of a person
It sounds to me that a lot of Royals downfall was having people who constantly lied to them about what was going on with the people. I absolutely love everything about your videos and with technology I'm excited to see what you'll be doing in the future. You're already way ahead of your time. I think teachers should use your skills to teach in classes.
Thanks for telling their story so clearly. I read a book that was based on her weekly letters to her mother, which painted a very different picture from the “Let them eat cake” idiot, she is usually portrayed as. As you point out, she and Louis were simple people and totally unsuited to being leaders of any kind. From your renditions, she was very beautiful, which often attracts jealousy, criticism and character assassination. It was good to hear that they were philanthropists. I’ve never heard that before. It’s a pity that those they helped, didn’t protect them. It’s a tragic story, all round.
So interesting! While I can't condone her insensitive decision making skills, it really does put in in perspective when you remember that she was still a child when she got married, moved to a new place, and was basically told "you two have fun bearing children and running a country! Bye now!" Like, yes, her and Henry had exponentially more resources and opportunities than their starving public, but it's a bit harder to villainize two teenagers who grew up not knowing any other way of life.
I AGREE with you, also his name is Louis NOT Henry lmao. But yes they were inexperienced, had NO idea how to run the country... coupled with France's economic situation, it became disastrous.
I think Marie was DOOMED to die the moment she came from Austria, there really was NO salvageable way to save that situation imo. The French Revolution war was inevitable - I think it was going to happen either way, whether anybody liked it or not.
When it says 'young to old' She sadly didnt get the privelege of living to old age, she was only in her late 30s when she died, still young. Although the stress she had been under undoubabtly made her appear older in portraits.
Thank you for using your gifts and passions to educate the world and give faces to the stories in history. It is greatly appreciated. This story in particular thus far, has struck a cord within me. It speaks about two souls who secretly shared big hearts despite their diversity of public Personas, social and personal upbringings and the flaws which developed as a result of the wrong people they had no choice, strength or guidance to break away from. The fact that they helped in silence showed that they did not seek social praise but rather, just wanted to life their life with some joy( which is something all people want to do) yet still considered and helped those in need ( which is something few people care about). It admonishes the saying" No good deed goes unpunished" as the self serving advisors and even the courtiers alike, lacked the moral stoutness to stand up for them and also the 3rd state people, who were born into and molded by a wartime lifestyle established by prior monarchies, craved blood and civil unrest which needed to be sated. Thus, with the combination of aristocratic greed and frustrations of a destitute State; accurate facts, fair prosecution and just sentencing were factored. Sadly, its like they were destined for their tragic endings. Thank you again for sharing and please continue to do the brilliant work🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
It's interesting to imagine what they really looked like, because the artists of that era painted in a very two dimentional fashion. Thank you for your talent.
You also forgot to mention that Marie and Louis wanted to introduce vegetables to the common folks as great alternative to bread and meat, which were getting ridiculously expensive at that time. Unfortunately, people still viewed and thought of vegetables as food given to pigs and other livestock and too poisonous for human consumption... The king even had dishes prepared using vegetables to try to convince people of the alternative so they wouldn't starve. If anything the people and especially the nobles, were stupid. 😡 King Louis did everything he could with the limited powers he had (the ones doing everything were the nobles) to try to help his country, but the nobles didn't want to make the changes and insisted on being in power even though Louis wanted to appease his people and even would've agreed to being a citizen king... still rule the country but as a figurehead of sorts (think of it as early form of prime minister or president, but longer terms). We can point the blame to nobles who grew bold and accustom to having too much power and fun on the backs of the royal family and the people of France at that time.
If I remember correctly, she also started the fashion of wearing muslin dresses in order to cut costs and try to promote the French textile manufacturers. Much to the ire of the silk importers
@@ardentlyconfused3503 Actually the muslin dresses were inspired by colonialist wives who lived in climates too hot to wear silk, and the cotton used to make it was imported from India I believe And as silk was manufactured in France or at least it was considered their trade, people were upset with her for not supporting them
She had beautiful blue eyes, probably was considered "pretty, in her younger years, but according to her brother she became too Germania looking in her older years. It's unfortunate, that her and Louis were uneducated and too young to rule. It also didn't help they had terrible judges of characters. Had their parents taken the time to really educate them, maybe they could've saved the monarchy.
@@hym3323 I suspect it means she liked her cakes. I have also got the vollschlank look many Austrian women were said to have at a certain time in history.
@@raduvlad4429 If you were in your 30s at the time you were most likely gonna be considered middle aged or just plain out old. They considered anyone over 18 as old lmao
That was so sad! I know that things happen even today with out us knowing and martyrs being killed, but this story really gets to me.... God bless Marie Antoinette, and I hope her and her family find happiness on the other side, that they did NOT here!
Great video! Thank you so much! You did a wonderful job providing an overview of her and the history ❤️ My heart breaks for her and her family. Yes, they had their shortcomings, but they were literally sheltered teenagers when they became king and queen. They never should have been executed, what a tragedy.
Thank you!! I asked if you could do Marie Antoinette and here she is,. 😍 She was beautiful! I’ve always been interested in the French court and the French Revolution and I think that although her lavish lifestyle was wild, it was also expected from her,. When she bought expensive dresses and jewelry the people would criticize her for spending money on silly things, , but when she didn’t the people would criticize her for not supporting the designers and artists. It was a loose loose situation no matter what she did. Your talent is amazing.
"her description can be described as being feminine she was also kind of lazy and frivolous but had an excellent character and a good heart she had little interest in school her grades were not up to par she'd rather dance play with her dolls" you basically described Sailor Moon lol
Absolutely amazing how you've brought these portraits to life. Seriously....this is the best technology in conjunction with your skills that I have seen to date. She truly was lovely. I've always read that she was very attractive but now we can full see it. Thank you so, so much!
well, if anything next years of revolution and Napoleonic wars showed, was that thank god there's something called justice and karma,punishment or paying the price. And French in fact, did pay the price so hardly
That is hilarious? In her day, age 37 was considered older for sure, as life expectancy averages were only around age 47 for average. Of course, many did live into much older years then average... but the average life expectancy now is more like in the 70's. Edit* That is the only thing that you got out of this video- laughing about a title? You have no comment about anyting as far as the history of her or the facial technology that was utilized?
I always felt sorry for Marie Antoinette. She was a teenager who was married for strategic reasons and unprepared for ruling a country (and didn’t have interest in that - i mean i don’t strive for power either, just want to chill and enjoy a simple life with enough money). She accepted her fate and did her best to fit into the new country. I know how it feels to be the new girl at a place and make enemies among the staff that was there before me, without having hurt somebody. It‘s all about power plays. Today, i learned that she even didn’t waste so much money and was described as kind and philanthropic. Godd that you put things straight in this video.
Is it possible to do a show on Alfred the Great or William the Conqueror? I'm not sure how may portraits of them there are, if any. Thank you, I love your channel!
I have been watching your videos for a while and in only my opinion they are extremly good. Is there a possibility you could try doing the king and relatives of king Charles the second of England? They were very interesting people. In fact the whole Stuart period (1603-1714) was really interesting. Thank you
An interesting fact from astrology, the revolution in France and U. S. occurred when Pluto was in Aquarius. Aquarius represents the people. Pluto breaks down the rotten and rebuilds. Nearly 248 years since Pluto was there. March 2023 once again Pluto returns to Aquarius. Expect new revolutions.
Please make some content on the Ottoman Dynasty. I would love to see Suleyman the Magnificent and his wife/consort Hurrem. You wold make me very happy! There is very little information about the Harem and there is confusion about what the sultanas looked like. Hurrem is especially facinating because she issued in the sultinate of women. She came as a slave and ruled as a queen.
Hi, I really like what you are doing, I am shocked that you can now see such things!!!!!!I am interested in the French Revolution. Both the royal family and the revolutionaries. I would like to see: 1) Jean-Paul Marat, 2) Maximilien de Robespierre. 3. Camille Desmoulins, 4. Georges Danton, 5. Jacques-René Hébert. I would also like to see: 1. Charlotte Corday - Marat's assassin, and the leaders of the Vendée uprising - Jacques Cathelineau, François de Charette and Charles de Bonchamps, among others. And also genocidal revolutionaries - Louis Marie Turreau and Jean Baptiste Carrier. I am a royalist:). The only thing that bothers me a little is the eyes of all of them - I have the impression that they are to each other - all of them - very similar, a little always enlarged and more widely spaced - in each figure. . In the portraits of Marie Antoinette, there is a hump on her nose specially hidden, but she was pretty and had "teardrop-shaped" eyes. Her death mask made by Marie Tussaud (I would also like to see:)), shows her a little different image than everywhere you can see it. Very warm regards to you, you are amazing!!!!!
Great video! Another reason Marie Antoinette was doomed before she started was because she was Austrian, which was viewed as inferior by the French at that time. She was an outsider and although the public liked her at first, the anti-Austrian thing would not have helped when she began to fall from favour. Also, she was a woman. History has always been on the side of men. She certainly didn't deserve what happened to her.
Love how your information honors this legendary woman’s life and puts the propaganda to rest. Truth is they were set up to fail despite being good kind people.
She was a great lady. The French should not have treated her that way. She looked most like the 4 minute marker. I have had dreams about her often as a child.
It’s crazy I came across this channel because I have been watching videos on past monarchs & specifically remembering telling myself to look up videos on what they most likely would’ve looked like based on their paintings & boom here I am.
She was a very good person, the propaganda said about her to diminish her character is tragic that it continues to this day. But I do believe she was saintly.
This is just wild. Gave me chills. How often we've wished we could see historical people in person. The portraits never really gave me the impression of a flesh and blood individual. It's amazing what a difference the animation made!
This was a very good video! They kill the Monarchy in 1793, and then Napoleon becomes First Consol of France from 1799-1804, and then Napoleon becomes the Emperor of France in 1804. Strange to me...
@@kikit9072 Maria Theresa used her wealth of children for political purposes, so that the monarch went down in history as “Europe's mother-in-law”. Most children were married off for dynastic reasons when they were young, often against their will. On the occasion of the upcoming wedding of one of her daughters, Maria Josepha, she wrote: “I consider poor Josepha a victim of politics. By the way, if she only fulfills her duties to God and her husband and cares for her soul, then I would be satisfied, even if she were unhappy. " You can see the portraits of six of the daughters; Marie Antoinette, the internationally best known daughter of Maria Theresa, is missing from this series. The future Queen of France was the penultimate of the sixteen children and was simply still too young when the series of portraits of her older sisters was made. The bathroom, which can be seen through the small open door to the right of the fireplace, was only installed for the last Austrian Empress Zita when the renovation of the apartment began in 1917. The renovation work had not yet been completed when the monarchy came to an end in November 1918. The last imperial couple never lived in these rooms.
The third portrait by Van Meytens was originally a portrait of one of the other Archduchesses but was apparently re-touched at a later date to become a portrait of Marie Antoinette.
@@piplebref4607 the third portrait does look slightly different than Marie Antoinette. Although, you see it on books, documentaries and movies. I didn't notice the difference until I read that it wasn't her. Thanks for the information!
every painting Marie Antoinette looks a little different because each artist has their own different way of painting her so I don't think we'll know for sure 100% what the real Marie Antoinette really look like

Shyness wasn't the only reason that Marie-Antoinette didn't get pregnant. Apparently the king had a physical defect which made sex impossible. This was corrected by a minor surgical procedure and they finally had children. But she was the one who was blamed and ridiculed for not producing an heir.
Yes, he had phimosis. And that's also true that he wasn't very interested with sex (it's very very unusual for a French king) , certainly because he had been educated this way, because Louis XV had so many lovers who were a danger for the Crown.

"Ouch!"

I think only the grey hair makes her older looking, it was a fashion that time.
@@marthas.4456 her hair was actually dark blonde. The portrait colors have changed over time. She even had fabric made to match her dark blonde hair.
She tried making tax bread by making the aristocracy cut their expensive but they refused and in turn, tarnished her name.

Hi, awesome live history video. It's like the historical faces in history coming back to life. 😊

The painter David made a sketch on her on the way to the guillotine.Very telling.
Hilarious that the title is YOUNG TO OLD - she was only 37 at the time of her death. I guess "old" is relative lol.
Exactly my thought.
That is hilarious? In her day, age 37 was considered older for sure, as life expectancy averages were only around age 47 for average.
Of course, many did live into much older years then average... but the average life expectancy now is more like in the 70's.

I know how it feels to be the new girl at a place and make enemies among the staff that was there before me, without having hurt somebody. It‘s all about power plays.
Today, i learned that she even didn’t waste so much money and was described as kind and philanthropic.
Godd that you put things straight in this video.
I love these pictures and how they come to life.
What a beautiful Queen
Is it possible to do a show on Alfred the Great or William the Conqueror? I'm not sure how may portraits of them there are, if any. Thank you, I love your channel!
All your videos are fantastic!!!🤩
Wish your videos were longer! You’re great!!!
2:40 it looks like she's dancing haha. Amazing!
Another great video! Truly stunning. And yes, it is truly important to have a strong character as a leader. Too bad with all the bad advisors!
"Let them have cake?"🎂
Marie Antoinette.
How interesting. I've never heard that side of her story.
Awesome as always, could you do Frederick the Great of Prussia next?
Hi you're channel is absolutely AMAZING, thank you so much❤
Pushed subscribe after only two minutes into video...wow I love this channel
I love how they randomly start dancing now and then. That is SUCH a Marie Antoinette thing to do.
Beautiful video, thank you dear❤
I have been watching your videos for a while and in only my opinion they are extremly good. Is there a possibility you could try doing the king and relatives of king Charles the second of England? They were very interesting people. In fact the whole Stuart period (1603-1714) was really interesting. Thank you
Thank you. Of what you suggested, so far I did do King Charles II of England: ua-cam.com/video/gF3QB0FA7oY/v-deo.html
I absolutely LOVE these
Great video I enjoyed it. Can't wait to see more soon 😀
As 3d artist i also like that animation approach. But i have to say Interesting video. Thanks
Even in the Ai. It captures something about her bc when the last AI made a certain face all I could think was “*gasp* poor Marie” 😢😢😢😢😢😢
An interesting fact from astrology, the revolution in France and U. S. occurred when Pluto was in Aquarius. Aquarius represents the people. Pluto breaks down the rotten and rebuilds. Nearly 248 years since Pluto was there. March 2023 once again Pluto returns to Aquarius. Expect new revolutions.
SHE LOOKS VERY BEAUTIFUL
Beautiful 💖
Very beautiful with those amazing eyes
Please make some content on the Ottoman Dynasty. I would love to see Suleyman the Magnificent and his wife/consort Hurrem. You wold make me very happy! There is very little information about the Harem and there is confusion about what the sultanas looked like. Hurrem is especially facinating because she issued in the sultinate of women. She came as a slave and ruled as a queen.
Hi,
I really like what you are doing, I am shocked that you can now see such things!!!!!!I am interested in the French Revolution. Both the royal family and the revolutionaries. I would like to see: 1) Jean-Paul Marat, 2) Maximilien de Robespierre. 3. Camille Desmoulins, 4. Georges Danton, 5. Jacques-René Hébert. I would also like to see: 1. Charlotte Corday - Marat's assassin, and the leaders of the Vendée uprising - Jacques Cathelineau, François de Charette and Charles de Bonchamps, among others. And also genocidal revolutionaries - Louis Marie Turreau and Jean Baptiste Carrier.
I am a royalist:). The only thing that bothers me a little is the eyes of all of them - I have the impression that they are to each other - all of them - very similar, a little always enlarged and more widely spaced - in each figure. . In the portraits of Marie Antoinette, there is a hump on her nose specially hidden, but she was pretty and had "teardrop-shaped" eyes. Her death mask made by Marie Tussaud (I would also like to see:)), shows her a little different image than everywhere you can see it. Very warm regards to you, you are amazing!!!!!
Great video! Another reason Marie Antoinette was doomed before she started was because she was Austrian, which was viewed as inferior by the French at that time. She was an outsider and although the public liked her at first, the anti-Austrian thing would not have helped when she began to fall from favour. Also, she was a woman. History has always been on the side of men. She certainly didn't deserve what happened to her.
Yep, i also read that austrian thing in a history book
Thanks for making this informative and interesting video
Love how your information honors this legendary woman’s life and puts the propaganda to rest. Truth is they were set up to fail despite being good kind people.
Thank you.
Amazing, thank you!
She was a great lady. The French should not have treated her that way. She looked most like the 4 minute marker. I have had dreams about her often as a child.
Not gonna like Marie Antoinette was actually pretty attractive, Id definitely would be hitting her DM's on twitter.😉
Wow. Hard to believe she was no older than 37 in those later portraits.
Probably stressed 😩! If I was her I know I would be.
It’s crazy I came across this channel because I have been watching videos on past monarchs & specifically remembering telling myself to look up videos on what they most likely would’ve looked like based on their paintings & boom here I am.
This is awesome! I love it! You do a wonderful job, and you bring history alive!💯👌🤳🤯🥳
She was a very good person, the propaganda said about her to diminish her character is tragic that it continues to this day. But I do believe she was saintly.
I love your videos. My daughter is a teacher and send many of your videos. Thank you .
She was so beautiful omg
Love your w0rk...keep it s0 exquisite
Like how u make HIStory come to life
This is just wild. Gave me chills. How often we've wished we could see historical people in person. The portraits never really gave me the impression of a flesh and blood individual. It's amazing what a difference the animation made!
Omg this is great! Wondrfull work thank you! 💋👍👍👍
Another great video.👍
She looks like Liz Gillies 🤩
How did you make their faces move? It's so cool 😎
I really don't think Marie Antoinette was that pretty as some say! She looked very elegant which is expected from a Royal.
This was a very good video! They kill the Monarchy in 1793, and then Napoleon becomes First Consol of France from 1799-1804, and then Napoleon becomes the Emperor of France in 1804. Strange to me...
can u do napoleon's josephine?
Porca miseria bellissimo lavoro i volti sembrano prendere vita mamma mia!
I love your channel😏🖤
Otzi the ice man do him next :)
Lovely video 🥰
Forgive me, but the third picture is of Maria Josepha, one of Marie Antoinette's older sisters.
I've heard that before, too. Although, many books that have been written about her have this portrait on it. I wonder if they really know for sure?
@@kikit9072 Maria Theresa used her wealth of children for political purposes, so that the monarch went down in history as “Europe's mother-in-law”. Most children were married off for dynastic reasons when they were young, often against their will. On the occasion of the upcoming wedding of one of her daughters, Maria Josepha, she wrote: “I consider poor Josepha a victim of politics. By the way, if she only fulfills her duties to God and her husband and cares for her soul, then I would be satisfied, even if she were unhappy. " You can see the portraits of six of the daughters; Marie Antoinette, the internationally best known daughter of Maria Theresa, is missing from this series. The future Queen of France was the penultimate of the sixteen children and was simply still too young when the series of portraits of her older sisters was made. The bathroom, which can be seen through the small open door to the right of the fireplace, was only installed for the last Austrian Empress Zita when the renovation of the apartment began in 1917. The renovation work had not yet been completed when the monarchy came to an end in November 1918. The last imperial couple never lived in these rooms.
@@persephone6591 Wow, you sure have your history down pat! Thanks for the info!
The third portrait by Van Meytens was originally a portrait of one of the other Archduchesses but was apparently re-touched at a later date to become a portrait of Marie Antoinette.
@@piplebref4607 the third portrait does look slightly different than Marie Antoinette. Although, you see it on books, documentaries and movies. I didn't notice the difference until I read that it wasn't her. Thanks for the information!
Wow that's wonderful... Can u do tutankhamun the young king
She looks like me almost exactly. Weird
Nah bro
@@mainreason9601 Translate
every painting Marie Antoinette looks a little different because each artist has their own different way of painting her so I don't think we'll know for sure 100% what the real Marie Antoinette really look like
How about Eleanor of Aquitaine 😁 and Mabel of tallevast ✌️👍 thank you
Thank you. Here is Eleanor ua-cam.com/video/EbCun5fekXk/v-deo.html
Interesting
They didn't deserve to die. The true villain is Robespierre.
Yes. I also did a recreation of him here: ua-cam.com/video/4mlkB2EofdI/v-deo.html
Awwe she looks so cute
I don't condone the decisions she made, but I didn't realise how sad her story was ☹️
Sin dudas María Antonieta fue una mujer muy hermosa y elegante lástima que no tuviera un buen final
nice
I would LOVE to see Ivan the Terrible IF u haven't already done one on him.
Fantastic, I love these videos. Seems too me she's got different looks on them pictures.
Marie Antoinette 💞🥰💞🥰💞🥰💞🥰💞thanks so much 🥰💞💞🙏🙏 She was so warm & kind .....loved her but truly a victim of political propaganda
Could you do Queen Mary of Scotland
