EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite full-length portrait captures the elegance and allure of one of the most influential women in French history, the Marquise de Pompadour. Painted by Maurice Quentin de La Tour, a renowned artist of the Rococo period, this masterpiece showcases his exceptional talent for capturing delicate details and conveying a sense of opulence. The Marquise de Pompadour, born Jeanne-Antoinette Poisson in 1721, was not only known for her beauty but also for her intelligence and wit. As the official mistress to King Louis XV of France from 1745 until her death in 1764, she held immense power and influence over both political and cultural affairs at court. In this portrait, Madame de Pompadour is depicted wearing an exquisite gown adorned with intricate lace detailing that reflects her status as a member of the aristocracy. Her posture exudes confidence and grace as she gazes directly at the viewer with piercing blue eyes. Displayed within the Musee National du Chateau de Versailles et du Trianon's collection, this pastel on paper artwork serves as a testament to both La Tour's artistic prowess and Madame de Pompadour's significant role during a pivotal era in European history. It symbolizes not only her close relationship with King Louis XV but also represents an era characterized by lavishness and extravagance. As we admire this painting today, it offers us a glimpse into an enchanting world where nobility reigned supreme amidst grand palaces like
