Gallant party, theater and melancholy · 1710 -1721
From Cythera to theater characters, the Louvre reveals in Watteau an art of the fragile moment where desire, music and melancholy respond to each other.
Jean-Antoine Watteau was born in Valenciennes in 1684 and died in 1721, after a career of barely fifteen years. At the Louvre, his works allow us to follow the invention of a new world, nourished by commedia dell'arte, gardens, music and romantic conversations. The Pilgrimage to the Island of Cythera, dated 1717, is his reception piece at the Royal Academy: the institution then creates the category of "gallant party" to accommodate a composition that escapes existing genres. The Couples Advance or Leave the Island in an atmosphere where pleasure already seems threatened by departure.

The couples advance or leave the island in an atmosphere where pleasure already seems threatened by departure. The couples advance or leave the island in ambiguity to the point of enigma. Portraits, isolated figures, mythologies and park scenes show the same light touch, quivering fabrics and a feeling of solitude at the very heart of the company. The selection "Antoine Watteau at the Louvre Museum" notably compares Les Deux Cousines - Jean-Antoine Watteau and Nymph and Satyr - Jean-Antoine Watteau. His reading favors details.
At the Louvre, Watteau makes each encounter a moment on the verge of disappearing: grace remains, but departure is already present.
