Painting Description
"The Rising of the Sun" (French: "Le Lever du soleil") is a renowned oil painting by the French artist François Boucher, completed in 1753. As a leading proponent of the Rococo style, Boucher is celebrated for his idyllic and voluptuous paintings, decorative allegories representing pastoral scenes, mythological subjects, and the female form. This particular work is part of a pair of paintings; its counterpart is "The Setting of the Sun" (French: "Le Coucher du soleil"), both commissioned by Madame de Pompadour, the influential mistress of King Louis XV of France, and a great patroness of the arts during the 18th century.
"The Rising of the Sun" is an embodiment of the Rococo movement, characterized by its soft colors, fluid lines, and a sense of lightness and movement. The painting depicts the sun god Apollo as he begins his daily journey across the sky, surrounded by nymphs and cherubs. The composition is a celebration of the beauty of nature and the classical myth, with Apollo serving as a symbol of enlightenment and the arts, themes that were particularly resonant during the Age of Enlightenment.
Boucher's work is noted for its sensual elegance and decorative quality, which is evident in the intricate details of the figures' flowing garments and the delicate rendering of the surrounding clouds and landscape. The painting's romantic portrayal of the mythological subject reflects the tastes of the French aristocracy of the time, who favored such escapist and ornate imagery.
"The Rising of the Sun" and its companion piece were originally intended as designs for the Gobelins Manufactory, to be woven into tapestries for Louis XV's royal residences. Today, these paintings are celebrated examples of Boucher's mastery of Rococo art and are held in high esteem for their historical significance and artistic merit. They are housed in the Wallace Collection, London, where they continue to be admired for their beauty and craftsmanship.
