Influence of Chinese Culture on Francois Boucher's Works
Journal Title: Humanitas Uluslararası Sosyal Bilimler Dergisi - Year 2019, Vol 7, Issue 13
Abstract
Chinoiserie is an eighteenth-century style ranging from painting to textile, furniture to interior decoration, and so on. Rokoko, one of chinoserie’s most prominent periods, influenced many artists. Among these artists, François Boucher produced works reflecting China's views of art and culture. The present study investigates the ways in which François Boucher was influenced by Chinese art and how the understanding of Chinese art and culture was reflected in the works of art. A comprehensive literature survey was carried out in order to collect data. As a result of literature surveys, 10 influential Chinoiserie works by François Boucher were studied. Chinese-specific figures, clothing, blue-white porcelain, pagod, Chinese temples, as well as the Chinese culture of the small pavilions with curved roofs, garden huts, used for protection from burning air as well as elements such as umbrella can be seen in the artist's influential works of Chinoiserie. François Boucher took the elements of his culture to China and combined them with his own unique touch.
