François Boucher

1703-1770

 

 

As a boy, François Boucher was apprenticed to his father, a designer of lace and embroidery. It is fitting, then, that Boucher would become one of the prime practitioners of the Rococo style, with all its frivolous decoration and miniscule detail. After a trip to Rome as a young artist, Boucher was unimpressed with the city, preferring to be enmeshed in the operatic and theatrical crowds of his native Paris. He primarily painted scenes of classical or contemporary love, and his work was extremely popular during his time, particularly for hanging in the bedroom.
