The Toilet of Venus

Title: The Toilet of Venus

Artist: Francois Boucher

Date: 1751

Movement: French Rococo

Medium: Oil on canvas

Genre: Mythology painting

Again we return to France, and again we return to Boucher.

The word Toilet means Dressing room before plumbing was a regular thing. SO this meant to be Venus’ dressing room in case there was any confusion.

Here, we see Venus with her usual symbols of winged babies and doves, but we also see a focus on pearls. More likely than note, because Venus came from the sea, she was likely associated with the jewel that comes from the sea as well.

The final piece from my recent show, ‘In Harmony.’ The Eastern Phoenix is often associated with harmony and new beginnings. In trying to portray those associations, the body is decorated with floral motifs; little sprouts blooming from its back, and tail feathers resembling a blossoming flower #brbchasingdreams

The Triumph of Venus

Title: The Triumph of Venus

Artist: Francois Boucher

Date: 1740

Movement: French Rococo

Medium: Oil on canvas

Genre: Mythology painting

As stated in an earlier post on the birth of Venus, Mythology and history painting was considered the highest achievement of artists. which was nothing to an artist such as Boucher.

As we can see, his style has become much more in line for what we remember him for with it’s use of color and fantasy on display. The vivid blues and the glows off of the women’s bodies are of visual interest of the piece.

Another interesting part of the painting goes back to Bocher’s use of composition. Here we can see what is known in arts and science as “the golden Ratio” Notice the path our eyes follow in this picture. The line of bodies at the bottom that then go up around the scarf, then curl back to Venus herself. The use of this pattern puts her at the center of our focus as the viewer and puts all of the visual focus on her.
