where she met the King of France Louis XV dressed as a plant and her as a domino.1 It was that
first meeting that laid the groundwork and led her to become Marquise de Pompadour. She went on
to become the Chief Mistress and dined amongst royalty in Versailles. The famous painting
Madame de Pompadour at her Toilette was by François Boucher who created several likenesses of
her, and as a result, he went on to be a court painter for Louis XV.2 Mythological themes mostly
inspired the works that he created for the King. The rococo style that is used in the artwork is a very
decorative 18th Century style at the time of the Baroque movement.3
Rococo is derived from the French word rocaille which means a garden of rock and shell
ornamentation. The style emergence was triggered by King of France Louis XIV who pushed for
more youthful art to be made during his reign. Sometimes referred to as Late Baroque, they style
was developed by Baroque artists moving away from symmetry and taking up designs that were
more fluid.4 The Rococo movement marked an artistic period which emerged in France and later
spread in various parts of the world beginning in the 17th through to the 18th century.5 It allowed
extreme illusion principles and a lot of valor and theatrical display. It achieved such portrayal
through use of asymmetry, fluid curves, white pastel colors which combined gliding drawing the

attended to the more important challenge of the period which was the conflict between the use of
color versus drawing, nevertheless, it brought the two together and developed beautiful pieces. The
works had great detail, vivid displays, great ornamentation and used bright colors. The Rococo style
is not only restricted in paintings, and it spilled over to architecture moving away from the then
