Mit Abstand das Beste! Antoine Watteau

Vier Kinder beim Pflücken von Haselnüssen: mit lockerem Pinselstrich scheinbar in einem spontanen, ungezwungenen Moment festgehalten.

With the death of Louis XIV in 1715, a new era dawned in France: the Régence. During the regency of Philip II of Orléans (1715–1723), court culture and ways of life underwent fundamental changes. Jean Antoine Watteau offered a distinctive artistic response to these changes with his *Fêtes galantes *. Martin Hanßen discusses Watteau’s new style of painting against this backdrop.
A “Who’s Who” of art history awaits you at one of the most important museums of European painting from the 13th to the 18th century. The weekly tour focusing on individual artists offers you an entertaining and inspiring overview of the Gemäldegalerie’s collection.
