Antoine Watteau

Jean-Antoine Watteau (UK: , US: , French: [ʒɑ̃ ɑ̃twan vato]; baptised October 10, 1684 – died July 18, 1721) was a French painter and draughtsman whose brief career spurred the revival of interest in colour and movement, as seen in the tradition of Correggio and Rubens. He revitalized the waning Baroque style, shifting it to the less severe, more naturalistic, less formally classical, Rococo. Watteau is credited with inventing the genre of fêtes galantes, scenes of bucolic and idyllic charm, suffused with a theatrical air. Some of his best known subjects were drawn from the world of Italian comedy and ballet.

Examples of use of Watteau
1. Apparently she is trying to usurp the "underlying conventions and codes of morality" of her source material – which includes the paintings of Watteau, Bernini‘s sculpture and Ovid‘s Metamorphosis.
2. The great thing, though, is a drawing in black, red and white chalk of two dancing figures, a man and a woman, by Antoine Watteau (1684–1721). It is on a different plane from everything else.
