BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Source: unknown, to be determined.
Biography artist: Antoine Watteau (1684-1721) was a French painter whose career spurned the revival of interest in colour and movement, and is credited with moving the Baroque style into the less classical Rococo. His most famous paintings are so-called Fetes-Galantes, scenes of bucolic and idyllic charm combined with an air of theatricality.
