EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite print captures the enigmatic and captivating figure of Jeanne-Antoinette Poisson, Marquise de Pompadour (1721-1764), as she engrosses herself in a book, oblivious to the world around her. Pompadour, the favored mistress of King Louis XV of France during the latter part of his reign, was not only renowned for her beauty and charm but also for her intelligence and wit. Born into a modest family, Pompadour rose to prominence in the French court through her intelligence, charm, and cunning. She became the king's mistress in 1745 and held significant influence over him until his death in 1774. Pompadour was not only a mistress but also an advisor, patron of the arts, and a trendsetter. She was known for her elegant taste and fashion sense, which set the tone for the Rococo period in France. In this print, Pompadour is depicted in a relaxed and intimate setting, with a book in her hand and a thoughtful expression on her face. The print captures the essence of her intelligence and the allure of her beauty. The delicate details of her dress, the intricate folds of her shawl, and the elegant furnishings in the background all add to the overall charm of the image. The year marked on the print is 1764, which was a significant year in Pompadour's life. She had retired from the court by then and was living in her chateau in Bellevue, where she continued to patronize the arts and enjoy the simple pleasures of country life. This print serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy of Pompadour, who continues to fascinate historians and art lovers alike with her story of beauty, intelligence, and power.
