Madame de Pompadour as Diana the Huntress by Jean-Marc Nattier,1746.
The illegitimate daughter of a financier exiled for fraud, the mistress of King Louis XV for 21 years, which gave her huge political influence, Madame de Pompadour spent fortunes on the decorative arts and was responsible for the development of the porcelain manufactory at Sèvres, which became one of the most famous in Europe. On 10 March at 8.00pm at Linton Memorial Hall, Linton Wetherby, Nicholas Merchant will tell the fascinating story of this remarkable woman and her legacy.
Entrance is free to Society members but non-members are also welcome: entrance is £5.00 on the door.
