Boucher, François (1703–70) French painter, decorator, and engraver. His style was the epitome of rococo frivolity and was distinctly risqué in tone. He was immensely successful and widely imitated. He produced more than 11,000 historical, mythological, genre, and landscape paintings. Boucher became director of the Gobelins tapestry works (1755), and was also First Painter to Louis XVI.
