Antoine Watteau, c. 1727. Creator: Francois Boucher (French, 1703-1770)
Antoine Watteau, c. 1727. This etching served as the frontispiece for Jean de Julliennes The Works of Antoine Watteau (L Oeuvre d Antoine Watteau). Early in his career, Boucher reproduced more than 100 etchings of Watteaus works for the publication, learning to emulate his elegant draftsmanship. This had a lasting effect on the young artist, as is evident in a comparison of Bouchers Andromeda with Watteaus The Clothes Are Italian, both on view nearby. The tribute to Watteau inscribed below the portrait translates: Watteau, adorned by Nature with happy talents, Was very grateful for the gifts she gave him:Never has another hand painted her more beautifully, Nor been known to display her with features so gallant

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable etching by François Boucher, created around 1727, as a frontispiece for Jean de Julliennes' publication "The Works of Antoine Watteau". Boucher, in the early stages of his career, painstakingly reproduced over 100 etchings of Watteau's masterpieces for this project. Through this process, he not only learned to emulate Watteau's exquisite draftsmanship but also developed an enduring admiration for the renowned artist. A comparison between Boucher's own work, such as "Andromeda" and Watteau's "The Clothes Are Italian" displayed nearby, reveals the profound influence that Watteau had on the young artist. The inscription beneath the portrait pays homage to Watteau's exceptional talent and expresses gratitude towards Nature for adorning him with such gifts. It further praises Watteau as unparalleled in capturing her beauty through his brushstrokes and presenting it with utmost elegance. This stunning piece of art from the 18th century exemplifies both French heritage and artistic excellence. The etching and engraving technique employed by Boucher adds depth and intricacy to every line, showcasing his mastery in replicating Watteau's style. Preserved within The Cleveland Museum of Art collection, this print serves as a testament to the everlasting impact that Antoine Watteau had on fellow artists like François Boucher during their formative years.
