Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

The first monograph to appear on Boucher in English for nearly twenty years, this book is an invaluable contribution to the study of eighteenth-century art. Boucher has cried out for reassessment, and here at last, following the tercentenary year of his birth, his work is seen at its very best in numerous beautiful reproductions. Jo Hedley brings new insights into Boucher's art, explaining both his stylistic development and his cultural context; she also examines his legacy, both in a survey of the influence of his imagery in many media and in a deconstruction of the myth of his libidinous personality (based on his art, not his life).

Nota de la solapa:

This lavishly illustrated book charts the spectacular rise of the eighteenth-century French artist, Francois Boucher, from poverty to the position of First Painter to King Louis XV.
