1735 -1765 · Cupid, couple and allegory
Three Graces, consoling Venus, lover in the park and secret letter show the love in Boucher between childish divinity, lived relationship and social code.
In the work of François Boucher, "Love" designates Cupid, feeling and gallant behavior. The winged child can be supported by the Three Graces, consoled by Venus, educated, captured, grape picker, harvester or fowler. These miniature activities transform desire into a decorative allegory. Couples in a park and the love letter move the theme towards the contemporary world, where gesture, message and look organize the relationship. The natural setting protects the exchange while exposing it to the viewer. The natural setting finally reintroduces the ordeal and marriage into the mythological repertoire. Boucher responds to the taste of a court society which codifies gallantry, but his images do not not all tell of equal happiness: pursuit, capture and asymmetry also belong to this language. Reading the characters and accessories precisely allows you to differentiate between tenderness, play, strategy and power. The selection "Love at François Boucher" notably compares The Three Graces supporting Love and Venus consoling Love. His reading favors figures.
In Boucher, love is never a single scene: it becomes a child, a letter, a conversation, parodic work or a mythological alliance.
