Painting Description
"Blind Man's Buff" (French: "Le Colin-Maillard") is an oil on canvas painting by the French Rococo artist François Boucher, created in 1742. The painting is a quintessential example of Boucher's style, known for its playful, sensual, and idyllic qualities. It depicts a scene of aristocratic leisure, where elegantly dressed figures engage in the game of blind man's buff in a lush garden setting. The central figure, a blindfolded woman, reaches out to catch the laughing companions around her, while a cupid statue playfully symbolizes the blindness of love and the amorous pursuits that the game metaphorically represents.
Measuring 117 cm × 90 cm (46 in × 35 in), the artwork is celebrated for its vibrant color palette, fluid brushwork, and the light-hearted depiction of the frivolity of the courtly life. Boucher's mastery in capturing the textures of fabrics and the softness of skin is evident, contributing to the overall sensuous appeal of the painting. The composition's dynamic arrangement and the interaction between the figures reflect the Rococo taste for movement and gaiety.
"Blind Man's Buff" is part of a series of paintings that Boucher produced on the theme of outdoor games, which were popular among the French nobility of the 18th century. The painting is often interpreted as an allegory of the unpredictability of love and the playful nature of courtship. It is held in the collection of the Toledo Museum of Art in Toledo, Ohio, where it continues to be an important example of François Boucher's contribution to Rococo art and 18th-century French painting.
