Description

Explore the private world of one of the most significant artists of the eighteenth century. While most studies focus on the artistic style of Francois Boucher, this Routledge publication offers a new perspective by examining his massive personal collection. This interdisciplinary study covers his acquisition of approximately 13,500 objects, ranging from paintings and sculptures to porcelain, prints, and minerals. Readers will learn about the specific networks Boucher used to acquire these items and how he organized his collection. The book provides details on the spectacular display of these objects within his custom-designed studio at the Louvre, where he lived and worked for nearly twenty years. This work is an essential resource for those interested in the history of material culture and the lives of artists as collectors and connoisseurs.
