BOUCHER, FRANCOIS (1703-1770)

This article appears in Volume V04, Page 312 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BOS-BRI
BOUCHER, FRANCOIS (1703-1770) , French painter, was born in Paris, and at first was employed by
jean
  Francois Cars (167o-1739), the engraver, father of the engraver Laurent Cars (1699-1771), to Make designs and illustrations for books. In 1727,
however, he went to Italy, and at Rome became well known as a painter. He returned to Paris in 1731 and soon became a favourite in society. His picture " Rinaldo and Armida " (1734) is now in the Louvre. He was made inspector of the Gobelins factory in 1755 and court painter in 1765, and was employed by Madame de Pompadour both to paint her portrait and to execute various decorative works. He died in 1770. His Watteau-like style and graceful voluptuousness gave him the title of the
Anacreon
  of
painting
 , but his repute declined until
recent
  years. The Wallace collection, at
Hertford
 
House
 , has some of his finest pictures, outside the Louvre. His etchings were also numerous and masterly.
See
Antoine
  Bret's notice in the Necrologe des hommes celebres for 1771, and the monographs by the
brothers
  de
Goncourt
  and Paul Mantz.
