'Portrait of Madame de Pompadour' 1756 by François Boucher

In 1745 Jeanne-Antoinette Poisson became the mistress of Louis XV. Owing to her intellectual propensity, which impressed the king, she soon attained an elevated position at court, the climax of which was in 1756 her being named as the queen's lady-in-waiting. To commemorate the occasion a combination private and official portrait was painted by Boucher. Oil on canvas (201 x 157 cm) Alte Pinakothek museum, München, Germany : www.pinakothek.de/en/francois-boucher/portrait-marquise-d…

"The Bird Catchers," François Boucher, 1748. Oil on canvas. | In the 1700s, small birds played an important symbolic role in courtship ritual: the gift of a caged bird from a man to a woman signified her capture of his heart. Posed in front of the ruins of a temple to Vesta, young aristocratic women dressed in exquisite finery play with small birds; some still hold them on strings while others daintily hold them on their fingers.
