The Embarkation for Cythera

A signature work by Jean-Antoine Watteau, emblem of French Rococo. Lovers prepare to depart the enchanted isle of Cythera, sacred to Venus, in a poetic scene of twilight and graceful gesture, a masterpiece of the 'fête galante' that sings of love's sweetness and transience.
