Mistress of King Louis XV of France, considered by her contemporaries to be a capricious odalisque, a calculating and ambitious bourgeois, Madame de Pompadour was in reality an intelligent and cultured woman, charming and enigmatic, who dared to challenge the conventions of mid-eighteenth-century French society and put her talents to good use, first becoming the king's favorite and then maintaining her influence over him even when passion between the sheets cooled.
A trusted political advisor, devoted friend, and reserved confidante, she remained at the king's side for twenty years, guiding his policies like a true minister in the shadows, like an uncrowned queen.
