French, 1703–1770
François Boucher (1703–1770) was a French artist from Paris who painted, drew, and made etchings in the Rococo style. He became known for lush and idyllic scenes based on classical stories, allegories, and pastoral life. Boucher held several positions at the Académie de peinture et de sculpture, eventually becoming First Painter to the King in 1765. He also taught other artists and collaborated with figures such as Madame de Pompadour and Jacques Guay.
