The long tradition in the arts of the Hunt, domestic and exotic, as a surrogate for war in peacetime is reflected in the Amiens Hunting Series (1736-1739) along with influences from the waning years of Louis XIV and early trends in the reign of Louis XV. / Two of Francois Boucher's lesser known works form part of the Amiens canvases executed for Louis XV's private gallery at Versailles. Carle Van Loo, Charles Parrocel, Jean-Francois de Troy, Jean-Baptiste Pater and Nicolas Lancret contributed to the Series, but Boucher's work is unique due probably to his study of the hunts of Peter Paul Rubens and his reference to an older heritage represented by Antonio Tempesta who had already interpreted the natural wonders of the world as described by Pliny and others. / The seventeenth-century concept of the "noble huntsman" endures through the pivotal work of Boucher which constitutes the logical link between Rubens's Baroque expression and the Romantic extension of the theme by Eugene Delacroix.

Os originais foram pintados por volta de 1576 e pertencem atualmente à Frick Collection, de Nova Iorque. As cópias pintadas por Boucher foram realizadas quando os originais estavam na Coleção do Regente da França, sendo datadas de a partir de 1752. As cópias de Veronese do século XVIII pertencem a um contexto histórico europeu de revalorização da pintura veneziana do século XVI. Esta ocorreu não apenas através de Sebastiano Ricci, que retoma a poética dos mestres venezianos do século XVI, mas também através da irradiação das obras de Rubens no contexto francês do século XVIII, através de artistas como Watteau, Coypel, La Fosse. Através dos debates na Academia francesa em tomo da supremacia da linha ou do colorido e da admiração pela obra de Rubens, a Paris do século XVIII redescobriu a sensibilidade cromática veneziana e a poética de seus mestres do Renascimento. O colecionismo e a possibilidade de acesso dos artistas franceses do século XVIII a estas obras venezianas foi outro fator importante. Pelos motivos abordados, as cópias de Boucher assumem assim um caráter paradigmático. A pintura francesa da segunda metade do século XVIII iria traçar caminhos muitos diferentes / Abstract: The main aim of this study is the anaIysis of both the historicaI and the artistic context of production of two paintings beIonging to the Art Museum of São Paulo. They are copies, painted by François Boucher (1703-1770), of previous paintings by PaoIo Veronese (1528-1588): Hercules between Vice and Virtue and Allegory of Wisdom and Strength. The originaIs were painted around 1576. Nowadays theyare at the Frick Collection in New Y orIe. The copies painted by Boucher were made while the originaIs were at the Collection ofthe Regent ofFrance. In this way, they are dated to the years around 1752. The 18th century copies of Veronese's paintings should be set within a context of European reappraisal of 16th century venetian painting. This reappraisal happened through Sebastiano Ricci's retaken of 16th century venetian masters poetics and through the irradiation ofRubens paintings, which happened in 18th centuty France through artists like Watteau, Coypel and La Fosse. The debates that took place in the French Academy, regarding the supremacy either of the line or the color, and the admiration that Ruben's works received, made it possible, in 18th century Paris, to happen the rediscovery of venetian chromatic sensibility and of its Renascence masters poetics. "Collecting" and the accessibility to these paintings by french artists of the 18th century were other essential factors for these rediscoveries. In this context, Boucher's copies have a paradigmatic character. French painting of the second half of the 18th century would go through very different paths / Mestrado / Mestre em História
