Reclining River God 1694-1715 Louis de Boullogne the Younger French Louis de Boullogne the Younger was born into a family of painters and became a prominent member of the generation of artists who bridged the 17th and 18th centuries. Accepted at the Académie in 1681, he attained the position of director in 1722 and was appointed first painter to the king Louis XIV in 1725. This academic nude is a typical example of his many vigorous life studies, exhibiting a confident graphic manner that blends classicism with charm and grace. From very early in his career, Boullogne the Younger favored the combination of black and white chalks on blue paper for both composition studies and figure studies, the latter of which were sometimes executed as academic exercises and sometimes in preparation for paintings. With its beautiful mise en page (placement on the sheet), this energetic life study portrays the river god in a traditional reclining pose, but seen from behind, resting against a large jug
