Elisabeth-Louise Vigée Le Brun who was also known as Madame Le Brun was born in Paris France on April 16, 1755 to French Portraitist and Fan Painter Louis Vigée (1715 – 1767) and hairdresser Jeanne (rozená Maissin) (1728 – 1800).
Měla také mladšího bratra Louis-Jean-Baptiste-Étienne Vigée (1758 – 1820) který byl známým francouzským dramatikem a dopisovatelem.
Zhruba ve věku 13 Élisabeth se zabývala významnými malíři své doby, mezi které patřili francouzští malíři Gabriel François Doyen (1726 – 1806), Jean-Baptiste Greuze (1725 – 1805), a Josepha Verneta (1714 – 1789); získala mnoho z rad, které jí dali ohledně jejího obrazu, a v jejích raných mladistvých letech začala profesionálně malovat portréty.
Pak studio, které založila, bylo zabaveno cvičením bez licence, so she then applied to the Académie de Saint-Luc; which unwittingly exhibited her artwork in their salon, a v 1774 she was made a member of the Académie.
v 1776 she married Jean-Baptiste-Pierre Le Brun, a painter and art dealer, and began showing her artwork at their home in Paris, the Hôtel de Lubert, and the Salons.
As Elisabeth career blossomed she was granted patronage by Queen Marie Antoinette (1755 – 1793); for whom she painted over 30 portraits of the queen and her family, which led to the misconception that she was the official portraitist of Marie Antoinette.
On May 31, 1783, Elisabeth was made a member of the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture; and was one of only 15 women to be granted full membership in the Académie between 1648 a 1793, along with her rival, Adélaïde Labille-Guiard.
