      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Jean-Antoine Watteau was a French Rococo artist known for his paintings of theater and ballet scenes. Watteau commonly depicted the fetes galantes which were elaborate parties filled with costumed guests. While Watteau is classified as a Rococo artist, he referenced the Baroque era through his use of color and movement.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/watteau/3.antoine.jpg" alt="Watteau, The Scale of Love" width="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">The Scale of Love</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Watteau was born in Valenciennes, France, a region that was a part of the Spanish Netherlands. At an early age, Watteau began to apprentice with one of the few local painters, Jacques-Albert Gérin. By 1702, Watteau moved to Paris in search of greater challenges and inspiration. In the French capital, Watteau found employment copying genre paintings for a workshop at Pont Notre-Dame. It was through this work that Watteau was able to develop his own style as an artist.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/watteau/4.antoine.jpg" alt="Watteau, Love in the French Theatre" width="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Love in the French Theatre</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">As Watteau’s skills increased, he found more work assisting Claude Gillot, an artist who opposed the official art of King Louis XIV. Under Gillot, Watteau met actors, who he would choose as subject matter in his paintings.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/watteau/5.antoine.jpg" alt="Watteau, Gersaint's Sign Shop" width="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Gersaint’s Sign Shop</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Watteau was also employed as a draftsman for an interior designer, Claude Audran III. Watteau was able to assist Audran, who was the curator at the Palais du Luxemboug and had excellent connections and access to masterpieces by Peter Paul Rubens.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/watteau/6.antoine.jpg" alt="Watteau, Seated Woman" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Seated Woman</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">By 1712, Watteau was accepted as a full member at the Academy in Rome. Watteau spent five years working until he completed his final piece for the Academy, “Embarkation for Cythera”, also known as “Pilgrimage to Cythera”. Though Watteau’s paintings seem suitable for aristocratic collections, bourgeois patrons such as dealers and bankers purchased his paintings.</p>

      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Embarkation for Cythera/ Pilgrimage for Cythera</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Unfortunately, Watteau was always in a fragile state of health and died at the young age of thirty-six. Even after Watteau’s premature death, his reputation continued to grow. During the Victorian era Watteau societies were formed in Paris and London, and a Watteau center was formed in Valenciennes.</p>

      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">La Surprise (The Surprise)</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">In 2007, the discovery of the lost painting “La Surprise” again revived Watteau’s reputation. The rediscovered masterpiece sold for fifteen million Euros, the most expensive Watteau painting to date.</p>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Watteau’s paintings are timeless in value and beauty.
