Francois Boucher
Francois Boucher (1703-1770) began his career with designs for the carpet manufactory in Beauvais; later he even became inspector of the Paris Gobelin manufacture. But also he was valued as a painter, especially by the French court: in 1765 the son of a engraver was appointed Director of the Academy and got the courtly award "First Painter of the King". Also Madame Pompadour appointed him as an art teacher.
The work’s of Bouscher, famous in the aristocratic circles throughout Europe, are the examples of the sensuous rococo trend.
