The Great 200

The French Marchioness

When artist Audrey Flack taught at the College a decade ago, she learned about the remarkable—yet often untold—story of Lafayette’s wife, Adrienne. Enamored by Adrienne’s spirit, Flack worked to honor her through a bronze sculpture, set to be installed on campus during the spring semester.
