Exhibition A Royal Commission: François Boucher's Water and Earth Reunited Discover the puzzling history of two of François Boucher's finest works, Arion on the Dolphin and Vertumnus and Pomona. Commissioned in the mid-eighteenth century by Louis XV, these works symbolizing water and earth were originally intended as part of a series representing the Four Elements. Then why were the companion pieces of Fire and Air never executed? Why was the commission abandoned? Reunited for the first time in over twenty years, these works, in conjunction with several loans and other holdings from the Princeton University Art Museum's collection, give consideration to the mysteries surrounding one of France's most successful painters. François Boucher, French, 1703–1770 Art for Families What Did They Eat? Free and open to all, What Did They Eat? is part of Art for Families, the Museum's Saturday programming featuring drop-in self-guided tours, related art projects, and story time offered by the Princeton Public Library.
