The Yew Tree Ball (Fr: ''Le bal des if'') was a masked ball held in the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles on the night of 25–26 February 1745. Fifteen thousand people attended.〔()〕 King Louis XV and several of his gentlemen courtiers appeared dressed as topiary yew trees. The ball is notorious for being the venue in which the king made contact with Jeanne-Antoinette Poisson. He had first seen her while hunting at Senart. On 14 September 1745, Poisson was officially presented to the Court as the Marquise de Pompadour. She became the king’s official mistress until her death in 1764. == Gallery == File:Louis XV France by Louis-Michel van Loo 002.jpg|Louis XV File:Jean-Marc Nattier, Madame de Pompadour en Diane (1746).jpg|Pompadour dressed as Diana, 1746 File:Invitation to the ball.jpg|Invitation to the ball File:Bal des Ifs-galerie des glaces.jpg|The Yew Tree Ball, 1745 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Yew Tree Ball」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
