The Toilette of Venus by Boucher in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, February 2019
The Toilette of Venus
Artist: François Boucher (French, Paris 1703–1770 Paris)
Date: 1751
Medium: Oil on canvas
Dimensions: 42 5/8 x 33 1/2 in. (108.3 x 85.1 cm)
Classification: Paintings
Credit Line: Bequest of William K. Vanderbilt, 1920
Accession Number: 20.155.9
Madame de Pompadour, mistress of Louis XV, admired Boucher and was his patroness from 1747 until her death in 1764. This famous work was commissioned for the dressing room at Bellevue, her château near Paris. The bodies of the goddess and her cupids are soft, supple, and blond. The carved and gilded rococo sofa, the silk, velvet, and gold damask drapery, are heavy and elaborate enough for the Victorian era.
