"L'Embarquement pour Cythère" (The Embarkation for Cythera) by Antoine Watteau (1717)
This painting is in the rococo style and also the "fêtes galantes" genre, created by Watteau. It is recognized as an inspiration to later Impressionist artists, due to its use of contrasting tones of color. It also provided inspiration to French composer Claude Debussy when he composed "L’isle joyeuse" (The Happy Island) in 1904.
