An Autumn Pastoral – (François Boucher) Previous Next


Artist:

Style: Rococo

Topic: Autumn Love

Technique: Oil

An Autumn Pastoral (1749) is an oil on canvas painting by François Boucher. Boucher's pastorals and landscape paintings, which are certainly part of his rococo achievement, are willfully artificial on a basis of real observation. They create a new branch of rococo art in which the growing tendency to shake off dynastic and mythological duties has been completely developed. This painting (260 x 199 cm) is now in collection of the Wallace Collection, London.
