François Boucher (1703-1770), a famous French Rococo painter known for elegant, dreamlike scenes with gods, goddesses, and pastoral landscapes.
A French surname (literally 'butcher' in French), Boucher became famous as one of the most celebrated artists of the 1700s French royal court.
Boucher's paintings look almost unreal with their pastel colors and mythological scenes—but he was so good that King Louis XV made him a wealthy man, proving that imagination and beauty can be incredibly valuable.
