Painting of the French painter Antoine Watteau “The Venetian Feast”. The size of the picture is 56 x 46 cm, canvas, oil. The so-called gallant scenes of Watteau – “The Joy of Life”, “The Venetian Holiday” depict a dream world with a touch of sadness. The iconography of “gallant festivities” goes back to the “gardens of love”, known since the Middle Ages.
However, unlike the park idylls of Rococo’s “gardens of love,” Watteau personifies not just a holiday of beautiful nature, in colorfully refined canvases, the shaky poetry of feelings and reflections about human being on earth is colored with penetratingly sad lyrical intonations.
