Biography
Francois Boucher (b. 1703 d. 1770) was a renowned French painter, draughtsman and etcher. He was trained by his father, a lace designer. He worked in the Rococo style and is best known for his idyllic paintings which feature classical themes, allegories, and pastoral scenes. He is potentially the most celebrated painter and decorative artist of the 18th century. His designs were regarded as the epitome of French taste during the Rococo period. In 1723, Boucher won the Prix de Rome.
