Lot 1755 | François Boucher
François Boucher (1703 Paris - 1770 ebenda) Werkstatt attr.;"Les Charmes de la vie champêtre" (Die Reize des Landlebens). OriginaltitelHöfische Schäferidylle mit zwei jungen Damen und einem Jüngling in einer parkartigen Szenerie vor südlichem Landschaftshintergrund. Das 1735-1740 entstandene gleichnamige größere Gemälde von der Hand des Meisters selbst gehört zu den berühmtesten Werken Bouchers im Louvre (Inv.-Nr. 2726 bzw. MR 1211) und befand sich schon 1760 oder 1773 in den königlichen Sammlungen (Ludwig XV. wird als Auftraggeber vermutet). Aufgrund der weniger nuancierten Behandlung in den Hell-Dunkel-Werten und im Kolorit lässt sich beim vorliegenden Gemälde eine Entstehung in der Werkstatt Bouchers annehmen. Boucher gilt als der bedeutendste Maler, Zeichner, Kupferstecher und Entwerfer des französischen Rokoko, der nicht nur Hofmaler Ludwig XV. und Günstling der Marquise de Pompadour war, sondern dessen adeliger Sammlerkreis sich weit über Europa erstreckte. Er schilderte sowohl die galante, höfische Welt als auch laszive, mythologische, allegorische und erotische Motive. In seiner florierenden Werkstatt entstanden unter der Mithilfe von Schülern zahlreiche Gemälde. Der emsig arbeitetende Boucher befriedigte die große Nachfrage hierbei auch durch eigenhändige Repliken. Öl/Lwd.; 50 cm x 74 cm. Rahmen.Attributed to the studio of François Boucher (1703 - 1770). Oil on canvas.
