1730 -1765 · Rivers, mills, ruins and work
Fisherman, ruined bridge, ancient temple and laundresses reveal a landscape butcher attentive to water, fancy architecture and ordinary gestures.
Before being identified with gallant mythologies, François Boucher developed a solid practice of landscape. His Italian stay at the end of the 1720s nourished a repertoire of ruins, reliefs and architecture, but he also looked at Flemish and Dutch traditions. His landscapes do not always look for an exact site. They assemble waterways, mill, bridge, temple, trees and paths in order to lead the gaze. Modest figures - fisherman, young woman, washerwomen or travelers - give scale and activity to the place. The Landscape near Beauvais shows that a French geography can also support this invention. In the river landscape at the ancient temple, architecture gives historical depth; among laundresses, water becomes a work space. Boucher provides models to factories and engravers, which explains the decorative clarity of his compositions. Under Arcadia, his best landscapes preserve precise observation of materials, reflections and circulation. The "Landscapes of François Boucher" selection notably compares Landscape with a fisherman and a young woman and River landscape with ruin and bridge. His reading favors the atmosphere.
At Boucher, the landscape is a journey: water attracts, the bridge connects, ruin distances and a small figure indicates how the place is practiced.
