Examines the motives behind the contemporaneous critical response to Boucher's picturesque repertoire of amorous peasants, blithe aristocrats, and fanciful mythological scenes, and to the rococo style in general. This book explores how the discrediting of Boucher and his school intersected with cultural debates about gender and class.
Depicting Francois Boucher's individuality, this title presents the diversity of his talents, and also the variety of visual and intellectual traditions with which he engaged. It examines the artist's identity in relation to his portraits and self-portraits, his ingenious genre scenes, and his overlooked religious paintings.
