The role of “friend of the King”
Around 1750, on her doctors' advice, the marquise stops spending nights in the King's bedroom and their relationship becomes platonic; to keep her influence she takes on the role of “friend of the King” and announces it through art, commissioning from Jean-Baptiste Pigalle a sculpture of herself as Friendship.
1750s
Under her patronage: Boucher, Réveillon and Drouais
Pompadour patronizes sculptors and portrait painters, among them the court artist Jean-Marc Nattier and, in the 1750s, François Boucher, Jean-Baptiste Réveillon and François-Hubert Drouais, and makes Paris the perceived capital of taste and culture in Europe.
12 October 1752
Elevated to duchess
On 12 October 1752 the marquise is elevated to the rank of duchess.
