Francois Boucher tapestries

Francois Boucher (1703 - 1770) was a celebrated French painter most famous for his pastoral and mythological art. A leading proponent of the rococo style he was heavily influenced by early 18th century landscape artist Jean-Antoine Watteau (1684 - 1721) and had a massive influence on French art during his lifetime.

Focusing on romantic themes and idyllic landscapes he developed a distinctive style much copied during his career. He was seen as the embodiment of the rococo style which emphasized elegance over reality and was associated with the reign of Louis XV.

Francois Boucher tapestries have enjoyed considerable popularity mainly because of their depiction of romantic scenes and idealized pastoral landscapes that are more popular today than ever.

The following romantic tapestries show the depth of Boucher's skill in draftsmanship and composition and demonstrate the reason for his lasting popularity.
