François Boucher

French, 1703–1770

François Boucher (1703–1770) war ein französischer Künstler aus Paris, der im Rokoko-Stil malte, zeichnete und Radierungen anfertigte. Er wurde bekannt für üppige und idyllische Szenen, die auf klassischen Geschichten, Allegorien und dem ländlichen Leben basierten. Boucher hatte mehrere Positionen an der Académie de peinture et de sculpture inne und wurde 1765 schließlich Erster Maler des Königs. Er unterrichtete auch andere Künstler und arbeitete mit Persönlichkeiten wie Madame de Pompadour und Jacques Guay zusammen.
