During the 1730s, the painter F. Boucher discovered Asia and began to assemble a collection of Chinese and Japanese objects. These inspired him to create cartoons to serve as models for weavers in the Beauvais workshops and for his paintings of Chinese subjects. This catalog presents these art objects and tapestries, as well as paintings and prints by the artist.
