Francois Boucher (1703— 1770), a French painter, printmaker and designer, is a painter who has brought Rococo style to the extreme. He used to be the president of the French Academy of Fine Arts and the chief painter of the royal family. Published a photo album "Various Postures".

Besides painting a lot of myths and naked women, Boucher painted many portraits of court figures, including Madame Pompadou. Madame de Pompadour, whose original name was Jeanne Antoinette Poisson, was born into a family of financial speculators. She was the first beauty and talented woman of the Louis dynasty, and later became the mistress of Louis XV, and then became the private secretary of the king. Louis XV named her Marquise Pompadou. After Boucher entered the court of Louis XV, he was appointed as the painting teacher of Madame Pompadou, which is the best portrait of Madame Pompadou by Boucher. Boucher fully shows the image of this famous lady in her paintings. She is jewel-like elegance, arrogant and supercilious, smart and beautiful, lifelike on the canvas, giving a strong impression.

Appreciation of other works:

Dress up Venus

Boucher painted many variations on this painting, and this dress Venus is the most typical one. In the painting, Venus is embedded in silk brocade and jewels, just like a fairy falling from the sky. She is very affected, holding a pigeon and scratching her head. Little love god dressed up around her, very happy, reflecting the symbol of love and beauty. One critic pointed out: "The naked woman he painted is just the embodiment of a delicate aristocratic woman who just got up from a satin pillow." French writer Gong Gul sarcastically said: "He used obscene hints and stimuli to alleviate Louis XV's sadness".
