Description
Venus and Cupid by Charles Joseph Natoire
Charles-Joseph Natoire (3 March 1700-23 August 1777) was a French painter in the Rococo manner, a pupil of Francois Lemoyne and director of the French Academy in Rome, 1751-1775. Considered during his lifetime the equal of Francois Boucher, he played a prominent role in the artistic life of France.
He is remembered above all for the series of the History of Psyche for Germain Boffrand's oval salon de la Princesse in the Hotel de Soubise, Paris, and for the tapestry cartoons for the series of the History of Don Quixote, woven at the Beauvais tapestry manufacture, most of which are at the Chateau de Compiegne.
