Today's #ootd is this 1850-55 evening dress. @philamuseum writes that the fabric's pattern was quite saucy for the time, as it referenced Watteau's seductive painting, The Swing. The image was made by combining 2 paintings by Jacques-Philippe Le Bas (1 in pic 4). #Fashionhistory
When we think of the art of Jean-Antoine #Watteau (1684-21) we think of the Fête galante & characters from the Commedia dell'arte. However, in his earlier career he painted soldiers & was influenced by the War of Spanish Succession (1701-14). https://t.co/OJoakT4vq3

Jean-Antoine Watteau was born #OnThisDay in 1684. He was one of the most influential French painters of his time and he invented a type of painting known as the 'Fête Galante' - pictures exploring the psychology of love. 'The Scale of Love' is one of them: https://t.co/AaQbWtTVOo
Watteau’s work exemplifies the Rococo which evolved from the Baroque. His delicate palette, bittersweet characters, Arcadian landscapes & nostalgic atmosphere are characteristic of the time. Mezzetin (1717), Fêtes Vénitiennes (1718) & an undated semi-clothed woman sing with joy!
Watteau continued to draw throughout his life. Here are three studies of three women (1716-17), The Remedy (1716-17) & Three Studies of a Lady (1715). Such careful drawings would reappear as figures in different works. Such ability is almost extinct today
Another major work by Watteau is his Festival of Love (1717) which is typical of his many canvases of elegant people in a timeless garden. The Toilette, of the same period, also represents a theme he regularly returned to - the female nude
