François Boucher

French · 1703–1770

RococoBaroque

François Boucher was a master of Rococo sensuality, celebrated for his luminous depictions of the human figure rendered with delicate brushwork and soft, diffused light. His approach to form emphasized graceful curves and an almost ethereal quality, creating intimate scenes populated by nymphs, shepherdesses, and aristocratic figures. Boucher's technical virtuosity in capturing flesh tones and fabric textures established him as one of the 18th century's most influential painters of the human body.
