Madame de Pompadour was not only the powerful mistress of Louis XV but also a dedicated patron of the arts, employing the best painters in France to project images of her as both strong and feminine.
While leading France from behind the scenes, she was also setting the country's leading artisans to work, filling her many residences with exquisite furniture and porcelain.
