Delve into Watteau’s world of delicate luxury and shadowed genius, and meet the man behind the fêtes galantes. This nonfiction study traces the life and art of the French painter whose work redefined a century, blending dreamlike grace with sharp technique.
In clear, accessible prose, the book surveys Watteau’s rise from a Valenciennes youth to a celebrated painter in Paris. It examines how his vision differed from his era, how biographers shaped his story, and how his mastery of color and form helped usher in new ways of seeing in art.
