{"product_id":"antoine-watteau-jessica-findley-9781505675405","title":"Antoine Watteau: 101 Paintings and Drawings","description":"One of the most brilliant and original artists of the eighteenth century, Antoine Watteau had an impact on the development of Rococo art in France and throughout Europe lasting well beyond his lifetime. Living only thirty-six years, and plagued by frequent illness, Watteau nonetheless rose from an obscure provincial background to achieve fame in the French capital during the Regency of the duc d'Orl ans. His paintings feature figures in aristocratic and theatrical dress in lush imaginary landscapes. During Watteau's lifetime, a new term, f te galante, was coined to describe them. Watteau was also a gifted draftsman whose sparkling chalk sheets capture subtle nuances of deportment and expression. His method of juxtaposing flecks of color on the canvas was carried further by Delacroix and later reduced to a science by Seurat and the Neo-Impressionists.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jessica Findley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1505675405\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781505675405\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/21\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.30d","brand":"Jessica Findley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43985318609151,"sku":"9781505675405","price":7.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_36ffb82e-9a6c-4e15-823c-27c55583c83a.jpg?v=1683276859","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/antoine-watteau-jessica-findley-9781505675405","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
