description: As a young man, Watteau came to Paris from Valenciennes, a Flemish town that had recently come under French rule. In the French capital he painted decorative and theatrical subjects, and soon made his mark as the inventor of the fête galante, in which fashionable figures engaged in the rituals of love in a parkland setting. Watteau continued to paint figures in theatrical dress throughout his short life.
