French Rococo Era Painter, 1684-1721 He is best known for his invention of a new genre, the f?te galante, a small easel painting in which elegant people are depicted in conversation or music-making in a secluded parkland setting (see under F?TE CHAMP?TRE). His particular originality lies in the generally restrained nature of the amorous exchanges of his characters, which are conveyed as much by glance as by gesture, and in his mingling of figures in contemporary dress with others in theatrical costume  Related Paintings of Jean antoine Watteau :. | Antoine Watteau | Antoine Watteau | Franzosische Komodianten | Vergnegen im Freien (Amusements champetres), Detail | The base Shirra island goes on a pilgrimage |
