Music and Dance and Cupids in Conspiracy, 1740s. Creator: Francois Boucher (French

Music and Dance and Cupids in Conspiracy, 1740s. These two paintings, Music and Dance and Cupids in Conspiracy, are surely part of a series of over-door paintings that would have been installed in a house. However, where the panels were originally installed or who commissioned them remains unknown. They exemplify the fusion of fine arts and decorative arts that was common in elite interior design in Rococo France. Even though the paintings were part of the wall decoration of the room, the patrons chose Francois Boucher, a well-known painter of portraits and genre scenes, as well as mythological and religious subjects, to execute them. These two paintings reflect a style that was popular both at court and among other wealthy patrons through much of the eighteenth century: light, charming, pastoral scenes that mix classical elements with pure fantasy. Both of them feature putti, chubby baby characters that add a touch of humor to the images
