18th century · Rococo, love and decorative allegory
At Boucher, Cupid becomes a winged child, messenger of Venus and genius of the arts: pearly clouds, pink flesh and arabesques make love a living setting.
François Boucher multiplies Cupids in his mythological paintings, door tops, tapestry boxes and decorative projects. Alone, near Venus or gathered in a group, the child god holds a bow, arrow, crown or attribute of the arts. Its presence allows an allegory to be transformed into a light and immediately readable scene. The plump bodies fit into the curves of clouds, draperies and foliage; roses, blues and whites unify flesh and atmosphere. The plump bodies fit into the curves of clouds, draperies and foliage; roses, blues and whites unify flesh and atmosphere. In the allegories of painting, music or poetry, loves become busy little artists. Butcher thus makes Cupid a motif capable of linking mythology, desire and function decorative. The "Cupid by François Boucher" selection notably compares Venus and Cupid and Cupidons: Allegory of painting. His reading favors color.
Boucher's Cupid does not cross the scene: with the cloud, the flower and the fabric, he becomes its very movement.
