Jean-Antoine Watteau (, ,[2][3]French:[ʒɑ̃ɑ̃twanvato]; baptised 10 October &#;&#; died 18 July )[4] 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.
