Women crowd close: one leans in to add a flower, two recline at the left beside a waterfall with a jug tipped to pour water, and another seen from behind wears a blue wrap at the lower right. Winged children play on a cloud above with a bow and arrows, and a dark eagle perches at the upper right against cypresses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Wallace Collection notes that Boucher's ironic rendering concentrates on the gallant side of Ovid's tale and avoids the story's violence. With its pendant it was painted without fee for the lawyer Derbais between about 1731 and 1735 and hung in his billiard room and staircase. The museum says the canvases greatly impressed contemporaries and helped establish the young artist's reputation as a leading history painter in Paris.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original: oil on canvas, c. 1732-1734; Wallace Collection, London.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrançois Boucher (1703–1770) was the leading French painter of the Rococo. Trained in Paris and in Italy, he became first painter to Louis XV and director of the Royal Academy, and was the favourite artist of Madame de Pompadour, whom he painted several times. He worked across every genre — mythologies of Venus and her attendants, pastorals, chinoiserie, portraits and designs for the Beauvais and Gobelins tapestry works — in a light, decorative palette of pinks and blues. His work is held by the Wallace Collection, the Louvre and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach print is made to our \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/archival-museum-standards\"\u003eArchival Museum Standards\u003c\/a\u003e: a 12-ink giclée, printed to order.
