Jeanne Antoinette Poisson (1721-1764), better known as Madame de Pompadour, was a prominent figure in 18th-century France, celebrated for her influential role as the official chief mistress of King Louis XV. Born into a bourgeois family, she rose to become one of the most powerful women of her time, wielding significant influence over French politics, culture, and the arts. Her patronage extended to various artists, architects, and intellectuals, leaving a lasting impact on the Rococo style that characterized the period.

In addition to her political and cultural influence, Madame de Pompadour was also an accomplished performer and patron of the performing arts. One notable instance of her involvement in the arts was her participation in the opera "Acis et Galatée," performed at the Théâtre des Petits Cabinets at Versailles on February 10, 1749. This opera, composed by Jean-Baptiste Lully and originally premiered in 1686, was a pastoral work that told the story of the love between the nymph Galatea and the shepherd Acis, based on Ovid's "Metamorphoses."

The performance at Versailles was a private affair, staged in the intimate setting of the Théâtre des Petits Cabinets, a venue known for its exclusive and elite audience. Madame de Pompadour took on the role of Galatea, showcasing not only her acting and singing talents but also her deep engagement with the artistic endeavors of the court. Her participation in such performances was emblematic of her broader efforts to cultivate and support the arts, reinforcing her status as a key cultural figure of her time.

The event was immortalized by the artist Charles Nicolas Cochin II, who captured the scene in a detailed engraving. This artwork provides a valuable visual record of the performance, highlighting the elaborate costumes and sophisticated stage design that characterized the production. Cochin's depiction serves as a testament to the opulence and artistic sophistication of the French court under Louis XV, as well as to Madame de Pompadour's enduring legacy as a patron and participant in the arts.
