She, known as the first beauty of the Louis dynasty, not only has the beauty of the city, but also has great wisdom, and the financial merchant is also online, helping the queen pay off a huge gambling debt.
She has led the aesthetics of France and the world.
She, from an ordinary background, has been a 'female prime minister' all the way.
She, on her own, created a whole new genre of art.
She not only had a husband who loved him deeply, but also firmly occupied the king's heart.
Madame Pompidou
What kind of magical woman is this, and what kind of magical life does she have?
Thousands of autumns are beautiful, pleasing to the eye!
She is first and foremost her unparalleled beauty.
Voltaire commented: "Her soul is upright, her heart is fair, and such a name is rare in the world." Even her political enemies in the palace could not help but praise her in their diaries, super charming, and did not hesitate to praise her appearance.
She was Madame de Pompidou, whose original name was Jeanne Antoinette Poisson, born in Paris in 1721 to a wealthy capitalist family, but her father fled to Hamburg because of his debt, leaving their mother and daughter in Paris to deal with all kinds of cattle and horses. Thanks to her mother's rich lover, Turnem, reached out and became the godfather of little Jeanne.
A prescient mother
Because a fortune teller told Jeanne's mother that Jeanne would capture the king's heart in the future, Jeanne's mother acted decisively, invited famous teachers, and began to train Jeanne according to the goal of the king's mistress.
When it comes to her teachers, they are all first-class celebrities. The painting teacher was rococo representative painter Boucher, the recitation teacher was the first-class actor Larou, the poetry teacher was the famous Krebillon, the teacher who taught her the rhythm of the Paris Opera, who was also a singer and composer, Geliyot, and the dance teacher was the dance master Giberdai at that time.
The king at that time had such a great attraction?
It was okay, king Louis XV at that time, that is, young, handsome, rich, plus the dream lover of every French girl. Interestingly, this 'dream lover' also needs to have a lover, and this lover will not only be recognized by the 'dream lover', but also will be officially announced to the public and officially certified.
It is not only the fortune teller who says this, but also Jeanne's godfather, Turneim.
In order to persuade his nephew, the son of the Minister of Coinage, Theore, to marry Jeanne, he gave Jeanne a large dowry, including a manor near the king's hunting ground; he also designated his nephew as the sole heir to his wealth; at first, Tiores hated Jeanne's background, but when he saw Jeanne, he immediately changed his mind. And, in the days that followed, she fell madly in love with Jeanne. In response, Jeanne swore that she would never fall in love with any other man except the king. ’
Well, the silly Theore must have fainted at that time.
After marriage, Jeanne followed her husband to many literary salons. Here he met many of the main figures of the Enlightenment, including Voltaire, Charles Pino Duclo, Montesquieu, Claude Adrian Aier repair and Bernard Le Gamer de Fontenell. It was in these circles that she learned the art of pure conversation and enhanced her later agility in Versailles, an experience that greatly enriched her artistic accomplishment.
Now everything is ready, only the east wind is owed
Jeanne began to set out on the road to Madame de Pompidou.
She often wore a youthful pink dress and sat in a brightly colored carriage, which happened to pass by while the king was hunting. The kung fu paid off, coming and going, and finally succeeded in attracting the king's attention. And at the subsequent masked ball, the formal acquaintance.
Become Madame de Pompidou
Jeanne, who entered the court, was officially awarded the title of Marquise of Pompidou. In front of the king, Madame de Pompidou changed into different costumes, matched with different perfumes, and carefully arranged and collected beautiful ornaments in the room.
You can talk not only about art, but also about politics and history.
In 1756, she became the queen's maid of honor, the highest status available to a woman in the court. Her private collection of more than 7,500 volumes was so rich in knowledge and a brilliant mind that the king would often listen to Madame de Pompadour when he encountered difficult problems. Gradually, Madame Pompidou actually even assumed the role of Prime Minister, appointing, promoting, supporting and firing officials and meddling in domestic and foreign affairs. Madame Pompadour supported eminent ministers like Bertan and Marchaux, who introduced important fiscal and economic reforms (including trade, infrastructure, income tax) that made France the richest country in the world.
When the king was depressed, she built a villa and let the king participate in the design; built a theater in the court and performed herself; because she had a good voice, she led more than 1,000 singing and performances. She spends 2.5 million livres a year on private theaters and at least 500,000 livres a year on perfume. While pleasing the king, she is constantly enriching and pleasing herself.
Who can not love such a woman?
Although Pompidou soon gained the king's affection, she also had a deep sense of crisis. Many of the people who surrounded the king every day were looking for opportunities to introduce beautiful women to the king in order to please the king. Pompidou was anxious about this, worried that those who were involved in Israel would decline and love to relax. But her worries were superfluous, for at this time the king, no matter how much he liked fresh women, he was accustomed to Madame Pompidou's staircase, and liked to go up and down her place.
Madame de Pompidou became the mistress of Louis XV from 1745, a relationship that lasted until her death in 1764.
Western art with Pompidou
In the history of Western art, Madame Pompidou has also left a strong mark.
She led the construction of the Evereux Palace, today's Elysées, the French presidential palace, and together with her brother designed the Place Louis XV and many other buildings. Funded the publication of the Encyclopedia. Under her concern, French literature and art flourished unprecedentedly, and Voltaire's famous tragedy "Don Crete" was dedicated to her. She also provided protection to François Quesnay, the founder of the French Physiocrats, which also paved the way for the creation of Adam Smith's theory.
Elysee Palace
Working with the painter Boucher for nearly 20 years, Boucher put Madame Pompidou's preferences one by one into the painting end, and painted a large number of portraits of Madame Pompidou. During this period, the skirt is decorated with various plants, the workmanship is elaborate and delicate; the hair on her forehead is combed back to reveal a smooth forehead; and the makeup will be dotted with a black mole at the end of the eyebrow, the corner of the eye or the lips, and since then, the mole has become a symbol of female sexiness. The pink color she likes is called Pompidou powder; the rose she likes is called Pompidou rose; the hairstyle she likes is called Pompidou hairstyle, together with the style of clothing she likes, the type of porcelain she likes, the decorative decoration style she likes, the lifestyle she likes, and everything related to Madame Pompidou is accepted and sought after by people. She single-handedly created a new artistic style------ Rococo style, and she herself is also known as the Rococo Godmother.
Incense disappeared
Although Pompidou's life was somewhat short, God, perhaps out of jealousy, drew the timeline of her life only to the 42nd position. But Madame Pompidou's life is wonderful enough, life is like this, there are no regrets.
Emotionally, there was a love for her husband, and there was also a king who never abandoned; in terms of wealth, she was not trapped by money all her life, and she owned 6 castles under her name, 1 urban mansion (now the Elysée Palace of the French Presidential Palace), and a small neighbor palace built by Louis XV for her in the inner courtyard of the Palace of Versailles: the Petit Trianon Palace. In personal life, playing the piano, composing, dancing, stage plays, architectural design, education, painting, involving many artistic fields, full of love for life; in terms of power, from a commoner to a high official position in the court, one person is above ten thousand people, even if France becomes rich, it also pushes France to the quagmire of the 'Seven Years' War.'
There is no doubt that Madame de Pompidou satisfies all the imaginations of an ordinary man about life. However, don't overlook that she is also an ordinary person, and in her life, she has also had some troubles and regrets. Because of the two miscarriages, he was not able to have a child of his own to share all the luxuries; in the court, in the face of the tiger's eye of the enemy, he would also stage the traditional palace fight drama; after dragging France into the quagmire of war, he also suffered from the slander and insults of the countrymen.
If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.
God is fair, he has not favored any one person. Madame Pompidou's life is worthy of the 42 years God has given him. Because every day, she is actively trying to live seriously, without thinking about retreating, there is only one way under her feet, that is, to keep moving forward.
There are some commonalities in some of the celebrities of the past: first, no matter what life is, there is no complaint; regardless of the direction of life, there seems to be no prior design, but follow the heart, focus on doing what you love, patiently polishing yourself; and then quietly waiting, a thing called fate, which always prioritizes finding those who are prepared.
Madame de Pompidou was like this, even if the godfather gave her the manor near the king's hunting ground; even if there was a prescient mother, who had called for guidance from various famous teachers; but if Jeanne personally did not make an effort, I am afraid there would be no story behind it, and there would be no madame de Pompidou as it is now.
It is said that when Louis XV watched Madame de Pompadour's coffin leave versailles in the rain, the grief-stricken king said, "The Marquise's journey did not lead to a good weather!"
Yes, life is also like the four seasons, which can always be good weather, as long as the heart is filled with rainbows, even if it is still raining outside the window.
