François Boucher

This painting relates to the picture of the Pink Chevrolet in the its use of that color. This is in a style called "Rococo" popular in Europe and especially France in the 18th century. These artist including Boucher used the color pink everwhere. Here it comes in various shades.

 

Pink means, "We don't take life too serious."

 

Plump is Beauty, Thin is Ugly

This "fleshy" plump lady was the perfect woman for much of European history not like today's ladies who must lean to thin.

 

The painting is in Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. I bet it's called something like "The Bath of Venus."
