Antoine Watteau Painter

Antoine Watteau (French: October 10, 1684 – July 18, 1721) better known as Antoine Watteau was a French painter whose brief career spurred the revival of interest in color and movement (in the tradition of Correggio and Rubens). He revitalized the waning Baroque style, and indeed moved it to the less severe, more naturalistic, less formally classical Rococo.
