Francoise Boucher (1703-1770) dated 1760, French, Silk Painting. Painting on silk. Classical Image of darling male cherub, who has fallen under the curiosity of the sleeping nude female cherub.
Boucher is associated with the formulation of the mature Rococo style and its dissemination throughout Europe. Among the most prolific of his generation, he worked in virtually every medium and every genre, creating a personal idiom that found wide reproduction in print form. He was highly adept at marketing his work, providing designs for all manner of decorative arts, from porcelain to tapestry. Boucher’s insistence on a painterly surface and adoption of a high-toned palette favoring blues and pinks was well suited to Rococo interiors.
