Le roi de Rococo
Best known for his fêtes galantes such as the famous Pèlerinage à l'île de Cythère , Antoine Watteau was a major proponent in the revival of the Baroque style and the formation of the Rococo movement. Watteau was inspired by the theater and in particular the commedia dellarte , hence elaborately costumed actors, dancers, and musicians were recurrent subjects; he was also fond of bucolic scenes and portraiture. Infused with romance, drama, and joie de vivre, Watteaus paintings depict a idyllic world of pleasure and entertainment.
