The hand behind it
François Boucher
François Boucher is the painter most identified with French Rococo: pink and pearly nudes, plump cupids, pastoral lovers and goddesses lounging on silk and cloud, all painted in soft pastel colour with a light, flickering brush. His pictures were designed to delight, and they defined the taste of an age. Born in Paris in 1703, the son of a painter, he trained with François Lemoyne and won the Prix de Rome in 1720. He was admitted to the Royal Academy in 1731, rose to lead it, and in 1765 was named First Painter to the King. Madame de Pompadour was his great patron, and he painted her portrait several times. He also designed tapestries for the Beauvais and Gobelins workshops, as well as stage sets and decorations. His Diana Leaving Her Bath (1742) is in the Louvre. He died in Paris in 1770. In Diana Leaving Her Bath, look at how he works a whole scale of cool and warm whites across the fabrics and skin.

Questions
How is the finish priced?
The price you see is the painting at the size you chose, in the finish you chose, and it updates as you change either. Rolled arrives in a protective tube, ready for local framing. Stretched arrives on wooden bars, ready to hang. Framed arrives in its frame, ready to hang. Stretched and framed go up to 60 × 90 cm (24 × 36 in); larger paintings travel rolled.
How long does it take?
Painting begins after you order and takes 3 to 4 weeks, including drying and the photo you approve. Delivery then takes 4 to 10 working days to most countries. More on delivery times.
Will it look exactly like the original?
It is painted by a person, so no. Brushwork varies between copies, which is the difference between a painting and a poster.
What if I do not like it?
Ninety days from delivery, full refund.
Can I get The Marquise de Pompadour in a different size or shape?
Yes. The Marquise de Pompadour is painted to the size you want, in the original’s proportions, or adapted to another shape on request. Stretched and framed go up to 60 x 90 cm (24 x 36 in). The original measures 60 x 45.5 cm (23.6 x 17.9 in).
