Watteau was inspired by the theater and in particular the \u003ci\u003ecommedia dell’arte\u003c\/i\u003e , hence elaborately costumed actors, dancers, and musicians were recurrent subjects; he was also fond of bucolic scenes and portraiture. Infused with romance, drama, and joie de vivre, Watteau’s paintings depict a idyllic world of pleasure and entertainment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eAbout the Series:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach book in TASCHEN’s Basic Art series features:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ea detailed chronological summary of the life and oeuvre of the artist, covering his or her cultural and historical importance\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ea concise biography\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eapproximately 100 illustrations with explanatory captions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taschen America, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50079583043824,"sku":"9783822853184","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783822853184","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
