Jean antoine Watteau
French Rococo Era Painter, 1684-1721
He is best known for his invention of a new genre, the f?te galante, a small easel painting in which elegant people are depicted in conversation or music-making in a secluded parkland setting (see under F?TE CHAMP?TRE). His particular originality lies in the generally restrained nature of the amorous exchanges of his characters, which are conveyed as much by glance as by gesture, and in his mingling of figures in contemporary dress with others in theatrical costume Related Paintings of Jean antoine Watteau :. | Der Gleichgutige | Gersaint s Shop Sign | Das Ballvergnegen | The base Shirra island goes on a pilgrimage | Franzosische Komodianten | Related Artists: Wolf HuberFeldkirch ca 1480-Passau 1553 CLEVE, Cornelis vanFlemish painter, Antwerp school (b. 1520, Antwerpen, d.
