Coleção: Antoine Watteau

Jean-Antoine Watteau was a French painter and draftsman whose brief career stimulated a revival of interest in color and movement, as seen in the tradition of Correggio and Rubens. He revitalized the declining Baroque style, changing it to the less severe, more naturalistic, and less formally classical Rococo.
