The portrait was a scandal in France as the dress, which was the latest fashion innovation, resembled today's undergarment, the chemise, and gave the impression that she was only wearing underwear.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMarie Antoinette was married to King Louis XVI of France and was initially a popular queen who has been described as extremely elegant, beautiful and charming. Privately, she was also impulsive, lively and fun-loving.\u003c\/span\u003e Her interest in clothes made her a fashion model throughout Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e France was in dire economic straits with widespread poverty and rumors of the queen's lavish lifestyle came to see Marie Antoinette as a symbol of the wastefulness of the privileged classes. There were also rumors about Marie Antoinette's love affairs. Few love stories have been as talked about as the one between the queen and the Swedish nobleman Axel von Fersen. Axel von Fersen came from one of Sweden's wealthiest families and was exceptionally handsome. They were blindly in love with each other for life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eIn 1789, the French Revolution broke out through the storming of the Bastille where the king and queen were imprisoned. In a secret exchange of letters between the couple from June 29, 1791, Marie Antoinette writes: \u003cem\u003eFarewell, the most beloved and most loving of men. I embrace you with all my heart\u003c\/em\u003e . Von Fersen's response and declaration of love was without reservation: \u003cem\u003eI love you and I will love you madly for the rest of my life.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The royal couple was executed some time later, convicted of high treason, whereupon France became a republic.
