		Pompadour's contemporaries found it difficult to believe that she could be the daughter of a vulgar nobody like Poisson.
		Pompadour was rarely ungrateful—she never disowned her embarrassing family—and she prized fidelity (to herself and the King) above all other virtues and rewarded it opulently.

		While previous biographies, such as Margaret Crosland's Madame de Pompadour: Sex, Culture, and Power, have focused on the cultural and sociological aspects of her era, Algrant brings her to life in an engaging study that will appeal to the general reader as well as the specialist.
		Madame Pompadour broke through an enormous social barrier for women of society - she was the first of the bourgeoisie to be appointed "official mistress" to a French King.
		Pompadour's real talent - and greatest legacy - was her patronage of arts and literature, most notably Boucher and Voltaire, but also the fine arts such as the porcelain works as Sevres.

	Art Bulletin, The: The "Makeup" of the Marquise: Boucher's Portrait of Pompadour at Her Toilette
		The line of argument to be developed here is that on one level Mme de Pompadour at Her Toilette is about the representation of identity--class and gender identity, and also artistic identity.
		On another level, because of the analogies it posits between paint and cosmetics Mme de Pompadour at Her Toilette evokes a conceptual ideal of pictorial practice first espoused late in the seventeenth century by Roger de Piles.
		In the minds of many reformists, Pompadour, the preeminent pa inted lady of the land and "godmother of the Rococo," [9] symbolized a great deal of what was wrong with French art and society, and she would often be the implied object of this criticism.

	Contemporary Review: The marquise de Pompadour visits London - National Gallery exhibition 'Mme de Pompadour: Images of ...
		The marquise de Pompadour is denigrated as a self-publicist mostly concerned with a craven Blairite manipulation of public approval.
		Images of a Mistress implies, as the more subtle exhibition at Versailles did not, that the marquise was anxious to win public acclaim as an intelligent, well-read woman and a patroness of the arts, which was a laughable notion during the period of Bourbon absolutism in which she lived.
		Jean-Marc Nattier's portrait of the marquise de Pompadour as, vaguely, Diana was completed in 1746 (Musee de Saint-Omer), at the start of her career of stately concubinage.

		According to legend, the career of Madame de Pompadour (n?e Jeanne-Antoinette Poisson, 1721-1764) as mistress to King Louis XV of France was predicted by a fortune-teller when she was only a girl.
		Additionally, Pompadour, much to the chagrin of her male enemies at court, served as a diplomatic adviser to the king and, as a result, was blamed for military defeats during the Seven Years' War.
		Lastly, like many other books on 18th century european aritstocracies (esp female), the author kept on mentioning Pompadour, tho spent a lot on renovating her various houses, tasteful art collections etc, also spent a lot on charity, thus should not be criticized too harshly.

		The femme savante portraits of Madame de Pompadour (1721-1764), the beautiful and cultivated woman who became the official mistress of Louis XV, are the focus of Elise Goodman's innovative study.
		While Goodman agrees with those who assume that Pompadour commissioned images of herself that would proclaim her cultural agendas--and enhance her status at court--she situates these portraits within the larger context of how cultivated women were represented in the Enlightenment.
		Goodman examines Pompadour as an icon of court culture who simultaneously represents sexuality and the life of the mind.
