Marie Antoinette, born Maria Antonia Josepha Johanna in 1755, was the Queen of France from 1774 until her execution in 1793. As the wife of King Louis XVI, she became a symbol of the excesses of the French monarchy. Known for her extravagant lifestyle and spending, she was often criticized by the public, particularly during the economic hardships leading up to the French Revolution. Despite the popular myth of her saying "Let them eat cake," there is no historical evidence she made such a statement.
Her reign was marked by significant political turmoil and social unrest. Marie Antoinette's luxurious fashion and lifestyle, combined with the economic crises of the time, made her a focal point of revolutionary sentiment. After being convicted of treason, she was executed by guillotine, and her death symbolized the dramatic end of the French monarchy. Her life and legacy continue to be subjects of historical interest, reflecting both the opulence and the downfall of the pre-revolutionary French court.
