The work 'Madame de Pompadour' is a beautifully detailed portrait of a young lady from the Rococo period. The lady wears an impressive headdress decorated with flowers and butterflies that further emphasise her graceful pose. The extravagant headdress forms a nice contrast with her modest mask and the butterfly on her lips. Around her neck she wears a choker with a feather, which emphasises her mysterious and playful side. The portrait is elaborated in a very detailed manner, with the influence of the Rococo style clearly evident, and the choice of colours and refined brushstrokes make this work a real feast for the eyes. The portrait radiates not only beauty but also elegance and a certain degree of mischief, and the work invites a deeper analysis of the Rococo period and the role of women in this period. Besides, it is a graceful work of art that takes the viewer to another time and another world.Madame de Pompadour was famous for her beauty, intelligence and charm. In 1745, she became the official mistress of King Louis XV of France. She was not only his mistress, but also an important political advisor and mediator between different political factions. She was very influential and helped determine important policy decisions, such as the appointment of ministers and France's foreign policy. Madame de Pompadour was also a patroness of the arts. She was an important patron of painting, sculpture, literature and music. She supported many artists, including the famous painter François Boucher, who painted many portraits of her.
In the distant past I worked a lot with photoshop, so when I started using photoshop more often as a hobby it was only natural that I could add something to my photos.
Nowadays my work relies heavily on the use of image editing software to finish both my photographs and my digital drawings and paintings.
If I can't photograph or draw/paint my subject there is always the 3d modeling software which makes just about anything possible.
