Biography of Francois Boucher: Francois Boucher Portrait Painting

François Boucher (Sept.29 1703 –A May.30 1770) was a French painter, who was a proponent of the Rococo style. Boucher is known for his idyllic and voluptuous paintings on classical themes, decorative allegories, and pastoral scenes. He was perhaps the most celebrated decorative artist of the 18th century. He also painted several portraits of his patroness, Madame de Pompadour.

A native of Paris, Boucher was the son of a lace designer Nicolas Boucher, who gave him his first artistic training. At the age of seventeen, a painting by Boucher was admired by the painter François Lemoyne. Le Moyne later appointed Boucher as his apprentice, but after only three months, he went to work for the engraver Jean-François Cars.In 1720, he won the elite Grand Prix de Rome for painting, but did not take up the consequential opportunity to study in Italy until five years later, due to financial problems at the Académie royale de peinture et de sculpture. On his return from studying in Italy in 1731, he was admitted to the refounded Académie de peinture et de sculpture as a historical painter.

Boucher later became a faculty member in 1734 and his career accelerated from this point as he was promoted from professor to Rector of the Academy, becoming head of the Royal Gobelins Manufactory in 1755 and finally Premier Peintre du Roi (First Painter of the King) in 1765.

Boucher is famous for saying that nature is "too green and badly lit".

Boucher died on May.30 1770 in his native Paris. His name, along with that of his patron Madame de Pompadour, had become synonymous with the French Rococo style, leading the Goncourt brothers to write: "Boucher is one of those men who represent the taste of a century, who express, personify and embody it."
