Danza

If you want to add a touch of elegance to your home, consider Francois Boucher’s “Danza”. During his lifetime, Boucher served as King Louis XV’s court painter. The Rococo style he advanced during his career is characterized by an emphasis on elegance over reality, which is exemplified in this wonderful tapestry. He was an absolute master at capturing emotion in his work through color, setting and subject matter – which was most often romance and landscapes. Here, he has combined his two favorite subjects in “Danza”. Two lovers tryst in a park clearing. Their private dance is one of celebration and unbridled joy. Boucher’s work was inspired by 18th century landscape artist Jean-Antoine Watteau, and he greatly influenced the style of French art during his lifetime. This tapestry is lined and has a tunnel for easy hanging.
