-François Boucher was a prominent French painter known for his decorative and voluptuous Rococo style. He was highly favored by King Louis XV and Madame de Pompadour, for whom he produced numerous paintings and designs. Boucher's works often depicted mythological and pastoral scenes, characterized by their sensual subject matter, soft colors, and delicate brushwork. He excelled in creating luxurious and idealized visions of beauty, which were popular among the aristocracy and reflected the opulence of the Rococo era. Boucher's influence extended beyond painting, as his designs were also sought after in tapestries, porcelain, and decorative arts.
