Book Description:
'The drawings of Antoine Watteau (1684 1721) have been admired and collected with a degree of enthusiasm accorded to no other artist of the French school. Watteau drew relentlessly, and the hundreds of his drawings known today demonstrate the full range of his genius, encompassing arabesques and decorative designs; landscapes; copies after the old masters; sketches of actors, clowns, singers, musicians, soldiers, and animals; multifigure preparatory drawings for theater designs and fetes galantes; and his celebrated studies of lovers in fancy dress, executed in red, black, and white chalks.' BOOK JACKET. 'While focusing primarily on the extraordinary achievements of Watteau himself, in all their variety and vivacity, this book also explores the work of Watteau's mentors Claude Gillot and Charles de La Fosse, of Jean Baptiste Pater (his only real pupil), and of his followers and imitators Nicolas Lancret, Pierre Antoine Quillard, Jacques Andre Portail, Francois Lemoyne. Jean Baptiste Oudry, Charles Natoire, and Francois Boucher.' BOOK JACKET.
