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 :. | avfarden till kythera | Franzosische Komodianten | Les Champs Elysees | Vergnegen im Freien (Amusements champetres), Detail | Die Schafer | Related Artists: Benjamin Marshall1767-1835
