Rococo artwork

Maurice Leloir was a French illustrator, watercolourist, draftsman, printmaker, writer and collector. Leloir was the son, and pupil, of painter Auguste Leloir and watercolorist Héloïse Suzanne Colin, daughter of painter Alexandre-Marie Colin.

Boucher’s most original contribution to Rococo painting was his reinvention of the pastoral, a form of idealized landscape populated by shepherds and shepherdesses in silk dress, enacting scenes of erotic and sentimental love.
