The art of portrait which developed in the second half of the XVIIIth century worshiped women and searched for the ideal female image. The ideal and the vicious co-existed in works of F.Rokotov, D.Levitsky, I.Argunov and N.Argunov, and later in works of V.Borovikovsky. The book portrays the variety of biographies of famous beauties, who inspired poets and artists, as well as the scandalous names of the adventuresses.
