Antoine Watteau, c. 1727. Creator: Francois Boucher (French, 1703-1770)
Antoine Watteau, c. 1727. This etching served as the frontispiece for Jean de Julliennes The Works of Antoine Watteau (L Oeuvre d Antoine Watteau). Early in his career, Boucher reproduced more than 100 etchings of Watteaus works for the publication, learning to emulate his elegant draftsmanship. This had a lasting effect on the young artist, as is evident in a comparison of Bouchers Andromeda with Watteaus The Clothes Are Italian, both on view nearby. The tribute to Watteau inscribed below the portrait translates: Watteau, adorned by Nature with happy talents, Was very grateful for the gifts she gave him:Never has another hand painted her more beautifully, Nor been known to display her with features so gallant
