François Boucher (1703–1770) è stato un artista francese di Parigi che ha dipinto, disegnato e realizzato incisioni nello stile Rococò. È diventato noto per scene lussureggianti e idilliache basate su storie classiche, allegorie e vita pastorale. Boucher ha ricoperto diverse posizioni all'Académie de peinture et de sculpture, diventando infine Primo Pittore del Re nel 1765. Ha anche insegnato ad altri artisti e collaborato con figure come Madame de Pompadour e Jacques Guay.
