Jean-Antoine Watteau (b. Valenciennes, France, (Baptism) October 10 , 1684 - d. Nogent-sur-Marne, France, July 18, 1721), French Rococo painter.
Some of his masterpieces are: Gilles and his Family (1716), Embarkation for Cythera (1717-19), The Mezzetin (1717-19) and L'Enseigne de Gersaint (1720).
The happy feel of his paintings made for a poignant contrast to his personal life, which was miserably lonely and punctuated by frequent illness. [1]
