Welcome to Mortal Faces! Inside this video I show you how I recreated Madame Du Barry (Jeanne Becu) (King Louis XV's mistress) into real life. My channel focuses on taking historic portraits and bringing them to life. I use my photoshop and technology skills (cinema 4d, and after effects) to give you my artistic interpretation on how I think these people might have looked real. Of course, all the renderings are my own opinion.

I also add commentary about these people to make it easier for you to follow along and hopefully give you a better understanding about who these famous names were and what their deal was.

I think Madame Du Barry was a product of her birth. Born a nobody, when she became somebody, everyone else ridiculed her for her past. She had the King, who died. Then after that no real support line. She knew a lot of powerful people but that was mostly just business. When the King died she retired to her own lala land. When the revolution came, she only had her property and stuff. Those where her life’s work and all she had. When they were threatened, she held tight. She ran to London to save her jewels then ran back to France to save her house. She focused on her stuff and not what was happening around.

I will take recommendations as always so please leave a comment if you want me to do anyone specific for you. I always check.

Thanks for watching!
