Papparazzi:

Madame de Pompadour looks relaxed and confident in this portrait, as befits one of the most charming, intelligent, and powerful women in French history. Her humble beginnings were a far cry from the glorious court of Louis XV where she reigned - as Official Mistress - for many years. This beautiful painting was done in pastel, a medium that enjoyed a vogue in France at the time - in every detail it contains interesting clues to the personality, position, and influence of its lovely - and very Rich and Famous - subject. Learn more about Mme de Pompadour and other fascinating Big Wigs with this 10 week series.
