" The Bird Catchers, 1748 " by Francois Boucher

In a romantically symbolic gesture of the 1700s, a gentleman might bestow a small caged bird as a gift to the young woman who'd captured his heart. Boucher's work idealizes the fashion of the day with fashionable young couples posed at the ruins of a Roman temple. The French artist's pastoral is alive with colour and movement. The authentic stretched canvas replica painting captures the original work's texture, depth of colour, and even its subtle brushstrokes, which are applied by hand exclusively for Design Toscano. The Design Toscano replica European style, bright gold-toned, ribbed frame is cast in quality designer resin with an acanthus leaf and floret border that draws the eye toward the beautiful image.
