"Portrait of Madame de Pompadour in the Guise of Diana" is an 18th-century oil painting by French artist Jean-Marc Nattier, a prominent portraitist of the Rococo period known for his depictions of the French nobility, particularly the women of King Louis XV's court. This artwork, dating from 1746, is one of several portraits Nattier created of Jeanne-Antoinette Poisson, better known as Madame de Pompadour, the influential mistress of King Louis XV and a notable patroness of the arts.

In this allegorical portrait, Madame de Pompadour is depicted as Diana, the Roman goddess of the hunt, the moon, and nature, known for her beauty and chastity. The choice of Diana as a guise for Madame de Pompadour is significant, as it not only alludes to her elegance and grace but also subtly references her role as a protector and patron within the arts, akin to Diana's guardianship in mythology. The painting showcases Nattier's skill in blending portraiture with mythological themes, a popular trend among the French aristocracy, who often commissioned portraits that depicted them as deities or allegorical figures to emphasize their virtues and status.

The portrait is characterized by its refined color palette, delicate brushwork, and the sumptuous textures of fabrics and adornments that were typical of Nattier's style. Madame de Pompadour is portrayed with the attributes of Diana, including a quiver, a bow, and a hunting dog, set against a landscape that suggests her dominion over nature. Her gaze is serene yet commanding, capturing the intelligence and influence of one of the most powerful women of her time.

"Portrait of Madame de Pompadour in the Guise of Diana" is held in high esteem for its artistic merit and as a historical document of 18th-century French court life and the iconography surrounding one of its most iconic figures. The painting remains a testament to Nattier's ability to infuse his portraits with both the physical likeness and the psychological depth of his subjects.
