Antoine Watteau is the artist who became the founder of a special genre of gallant festivities - an idealized image of people engaged in pleasant conversation, love play, dance or music playing against a perfect landscape. The intonations of Watteau's works are characteristic of Rococo painting (first half of the 18th century) - secular art that glorifies the joy and lightness of being.
