EDITORS COMMENTS
Mme De Pompadour, also known as Jeanne-Antoinette Poisson, was a prominent figure in the French court during the reign of King Louis XV. Born in 1721, she rose to prominence through her intelligence, beauty, and charm, eventually becoming the king's official mistress in 1745. This striking image of Mme De Pompadour, dated to 1764, showcases her exquisite taste and fashion sense of the time. The Marquise de Pompadour is depicted wearing a sumptuous robe à la française, a popular style of dress during the Rococo period. The dress features a low-cut bodice, adorned with intricate lace and ribbon trim, and a full, voluminous skirt. The extravagant fabric, likely of silk or velvet, is draped and gathered to accentuate her figure. A matching mantua, or overdress, is worn over the top, adding an additional layer of opulence. Mme De Pompadour's hairstyle, known as the pompadour, is named after her. The hairstyle involves piling the hair high on the head, then sweeping it forward to cover the forehead, creating a cascade of curls. This fashionable and elaborate hairstyle was a symbol of her power and influence at the French court. Mme De Pompadour's influence extended beyond the court, as she was also a patron of the arts, supporting artists, writers, and musicians. Her patronage helped to shape the cultural landscape of France during the Rococo period. This image of Mme De Pompadour offers a glimpse into the opulence and elegance of the French court during the 18th century. The intricate details of her costume, from the lace and ribbon trim to the voluminous skirt and extravagant hairstyle, reflect the grandeur and sophistication of the time.
