François Boucher and the Art of Collecting in Eighteenth-Century France available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. While earlier studies have focused predominantly on artist François Boucher’s artistic style and identity, this book presents the first full-length interdisciplinary study of Boucher’s prolific collection of around 13,500 objects including paintings, sculpture, prints, drawings, porcelain, shells, minerals, and other imported curios. It discusses the types of objects he collected, the networks through which he acquired them, and their spectacular display in his custom-designed studio at the Louvre, where he lived and worked for nearly two decades. This book explores the role his collection played in the development of his art, his studio, his friendships, and the burgeoning market for luxury goods in mid-eighteenth-century France. In doing so, it sheds new light on the relationship between Boucher’s artistic and collecting practices, which attracted both praise and criticism from period observers. The book will appeal to scholars working in art history, museum studies, and French history.

This book was released on 2004. François Boucher available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This first book in English to focus on Boucher for nearly twenty years is an invaluable contribution to the study of eighteenth-century art. Boucher has cried out for reassessment, and here, at last, 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. Boucher's artistic legacy is also analyzed, demonstrating how the mythology surrounding the painter's so-called libidinous private life have continued to undermine serious consideration of his ability. "Splendidly written and lavishly illustrated, Jo Hedley's book on Fran§ois Boucher is a pioneering publication . . . Hedley's book abounds in new information, fresh insights, and suggestive analysis."--Colin B. Bailey, The Burlington Magazine
