F. Boucher / par André Michel
A late nineteenth-century French art monograph by André Michel, published in Paris in 1889 by Librairie de l'Art, presenting the rococo painter François Boucher to art readers and collectors through engraved reproductions of his works. The plates show mythological and pastoral scenes in soft, tonal engraving, with figures arranged in swirling clouds, garden settings and sensuous drapery, giving a designer a clear model for classical allegory, decorative pastoral vignettes and the light, ornamental rococo manner.
