Watteau

Jean-Antoine Watteau

Jean-Antoine Watteau better known as Antoine Watteau was a French painter whose brief career spurred the revival of interest in colour and movement.

Watteau is credited with inventing the genre of fêtes galantes: scenes of bucolic and idyllic charm, suffused with an air of theatricality. Some of his best known subjects were drawn from the world of Italian comedy and ballet.
