Artist Biography:
Jean-Antoine Watteau (1684–1721) was a French Rococo painter celebrated for his delicate, elegant depictions of aristocratic leisure and romanticized scenes, often set in idyllic, pastoral landscapes. His works, which include masterpieces like *The Embarkation for Cythera* (1717), are known for their poetic quality, soft color palette, and graceful figures. Watteau's style bridged the Baroque and Rococo periods, and he is credited with inventing the *fête galante* genre, which portrayed outdoor social gatherings of the elite. Despite his brief career, cut short by illness, Watteau had a profound influence on French art, shaping the aesthetic of the Rococo movement with his light, expressive touch and emphasis on beauty and emotion.
