Etchings for the Recueil Jullienne after Watteau
For the first two volumes of the Recueil Jullienne, which reproduced the works of Watteau, Boucher executed about a hundred etchings, including the frontispiece with Watteau's self-portrait; this work became a source of inspiration for him.
1727
Departure for Italy
Because of court intrigues he was able to travel to Italy only in 1727, thanks to the generosity of a third party; in Rome he was especially impressed by the decorative works of Pietro da Cortona and Giovanni Lanfranco.
