Jeanne Bécu, known as Madame du Barry, was a courtesan who rose to become the official mistress of King Louis XV, occupying a prominent position at court from 1768 to 1774. Of humble origins, she received a convent education and, through the patronage of Jean-Baptiste du Barry, entered Paris’s artistic and social circles, where her beauty and manner brought her to the monarch’s attention. A marriage of convenience to Jean-Baptiste’s brother allowed her to assume the title of countess and be presented at Versailles, an episode that caused scandal by contravening the social norms of the nobility. Unlike her predecessor Madame de Pompadour, she did not exert notable political influence, but she became an important patron: she sponsored painters and sculptors of her time — including Drouais, Pajou, and Fragonard — and took part in the patronage that marked the final years of the reign. Her presence at court provoked resentment, particularly from Archduchess Marie Antoinette, and drew criticism for ostentation and the privileges granted by the king. After Louis XV’s death she quickly fell from favor and, later, during the French Revolution, was arrested and executed by guillotine in 1793, ending a life that illustrates the social and cultural tensions of the Ancien Régime.
