Like the work of art it so beautifully evokes, Watteau at Work appears slight but its thought-provoking observations carry the reader into realms of surprising profundity.

Synopsis
Marking the three hundredth anniversary of Jean Antoine Watteau's death, this publication takes a close, revealing look at his recently rediscovered painting La Surprise . The painting La Surprise by Jean Antoine Watteau (1684-1721) belongs to a new genre of painting invented by the artist himself--the f ête galante . These works, which show graceful open-air gatherings filled with scenes of courtship, music and dance, strolling lovers, and actors, do not so much tell a story as set a mood: one of playful, wistful, nostalgic reverie. Esteemed by collectors in Watteau's day as a work that showed the artist at the height of his skill and success, La Surprise vanished from public view in 1848, not to reemerge for more than a century and a half. Acquired by the Getty Museum in 2017, it has never before been the subject of a dedicated publication. Marking the three hundredth anniversary of Watteau's death, this book considers La Surprise within the context of the artist's oeuvre and discusses the surprising history of collecting Watteau in Los Angeles. This volume is published to accompany an exhibition on view at the J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Center from November 23, 2021, to February 20, 2022., Marking the three hundredth anniversary of Jean Antoine Watteau's death, this publication takes a close, revealing look at his recently rediscovered painting La Surprise .

    There was a mistake on my side and I kindly asked the seller to cancel my order. The seller went above and beyond to help me in cancellation of this transaction even though the shipping label was already created and he was almost on his way to the post office. Level of communication is top notch. I would extremely recommend to buy from him. Fantastic experience. A+++
