Madame de Pompadour: A Vision of Elegance and Influence in the Age of Louis XV (1715-1774) This exquisite 18th-century print captures the captivating image of Jeanne-Antoinette Poisson, Marquise de Pompadour (1721-1764), a woman who epitomized the opulence and sophistication of the French court during the reign of King Louis XV. Dated to around 1750, this image offers a glimpse into the fashionable world of the Marquise, whose influence extended far beyond the royal palace. Madame de Pompadour's striking appearance is accentuated by the intricate details of her attire. Her robe à la française, a popular style during this period, is adorned with an elaborate floral design, symbolizing the natural beauty and elegance of the French countryside. The robe is worn over a petticoat and a farthingale, which enhances the fullness of her skirt. Her bodice is fitted and laced, highlighting her slender figure, while her voluminous sleeves are adorned with lace and ribbons. The Marquise's hairstyle, a cascade of curls piled high on her head, is known as the pompadour, a style that became synonymous with her name. Her hair is held in place by an intricately designed headdress, adorned with pearls and feathers, adding to her regal appearance. Madame de Pompadour's influence at the French court was significant. She was a patron of the arts, supporting composers, writers, and artists, and her taste and style set trends that were emulated by the French nobility. Her beauty, intelligence, and charm endeared her to King Louis XV, who made her his official mistress in 1745. Their relationship lasted until his death in 1774. This stunning print serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy of Madame de Pompadour, a woman who embodied the elegance, sophistication, and influence of the French court during the Age of Louis XV.
