EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured steel engraving captures the elegance and grace of Jeanne-Antoinette Poisson, Madame de Pompadour, the chief mistress to King Louis XV. Created by Polidor Pauquet after a portrait by Maurice Quentin de La Tour, this print from 1865 showcases the beauty and sophistication of one of the most influential women in French history. Madame de Pompadour was not only known for her romantic relationship with the king but also for her intelligence, wit, and patronage of the arts. She played a significant role in shaping French culture during her time at court, supporting artists, writers, and musicians. The Pauquet Brothers' "Modes et Costumes Historique" publication was renowned for its detailed illustrations of historical fashions and costumes. Hippolyte and Polydor Pauquet's successful publishing house in Paris catered to those interested in costume design, natural history, anatomy, birds, and butterflies. This engraving is a testament to both Madame de Pompadour's enduring legacy as well as the artistic skill of Polidor Pauquet and Maurice Quentin de La Tour. It serves as a reminder of an era marked by opulence and refinement that continues to captivate audiences today.
