Painting Description
"The Interrupted Sleep" is an 18th-century oil painting by the French Rococo artist François Boucher, created in 1750. This artwork is emblematic of Boucher's style, which is characterized by its sensuousness, playful mythological themes, and pastoral scenes. The painting depicts a young shepherdess who has fallen asleep in a pastoral landscape, only to be gently awakened by a mischievous putto or cherub. The scene is imbued with a sense of light-heartedness and eroticism, which is typical of Boucher's approach to pastoral and mythological subjects.
François Boucher (1703–1770) was a prolific painter, engraver, and decorator who became one of the most celebrated artists of the French Rococo movement. He served as the court painter to King Louis XV and was highly favored by Madame de Pompadour, the king's influential mistress. Boucher's works are renowned for their decorative quality and their contribution to the Rococo aesthetic, which emphasized artifice, elegance, and the pleasures of the senses.
"The Interrupted Sleep" is held in high regard for its technical mastery, its delicate use of color, and its ability to convey texture and softness, particularly in the rendering of skin and fabrics. The painting is also notable for its exploration of themes of love, playfulness, and the idealization of rural life. As with many of Boucher's paintings, "The Interrupted Sleep" reflects the tastes and mores of the French aristocracy of the time, offering a window into the cultural and artistic preoccupations of the period.
The painting is part of the collection of the Musée du Louvre in Paris, France, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic significance and its representation of 18th-century French art. "The Interrupted Sleep" remains an important work in the oeuvre of François Boucher and a quintessential example of Rococo painting.
