Francois Boucher was a prolific Rococo painter of portraits, allegories, genre, history, and mythological scenes. Boucher was influenced by the great Rubens but tended to feature sensuality in his paintings, whether they were Orientalist or classical themes. Madame Pompadour was Boucher’s patron when he rendered this likeness of the Love Goddess snatching her son’s bow, missiles, and quiver. This captivating Mixed-Media tableau is an excellent idea for Transitional French Chateaus in Dallas, Texas.
