François BOUCHER (1703 - 1770)
A particularly prolific master, Boucher tackled all genres: religious painting, mythological subjects, rustic scenes, landscapes, animals, decorations of monuments and private houses, tapestry models.
He is, perhaps, the most famous painter and decorative artist of the 18th century, of whom it could be said that he was one of the purest geniuses. He himself estimated, a year before his death, that he had produced more than ten thousand drawings, but still found time to work ten hours a day on idyllic and voluptuous representations of classical, mythological and erotic themes, decorative allegories and pastoral scenes. He was court painter to Louis XV and the favourite of the Marquise de Pompadour, of whom he painted several portraits.
