The Toilet of Venus
François Boucher, the ultimate poster boy for French Rococo, serves up a masterclass in playful sensuality here. Venus reclines in a lush, dreamy landscape, completely unbothered as she checks her reflection in a mirror held by a mischievous cherub. Meanwhile, her other little winged assistants are busy wrestling with doves and roses, adding to the chaotic charm. It’s the kind of fluffy, mythological eye candy that made Boucher the favorite painter of Madame de Pompadour, the chief mistress of King Louis XV.
