A Boucher and a Bed - a photo on Flickriver

            Taken in 2008.

An 18th-century French bed beneath François Boucher's Halt at the Spring (1765). The sign says: "Boucher was the most fashionable and influential French artist of the eighteenth century. He painted decorative ensembles, portraits, landscapes, and mythological scenes, and he also designed tapestries, porcelains, opera sets, and book illustrations. Halt at the Spring was originally a smaller religious painting portraying the Rest on the Flight into Egypt, with Mary, Joseph, and the Christ Child at left. Between 1761 and 1765, the painting was enlarged and reworked into a picturesque fantasy of peasant life."

The bed, of carved and gilded beech, was made in Paris in 1787 by Jean-Baptiste-Claude Sené. It would have been placed lengthwise in a curtained alcove. 

At the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
