La Fête Galante

La Fête Galante

Fete galante paintings are an important part of the rococo period of art.

Since summer 2023 I take life a little lighter …
☺️
and worked on a new series of collage works entitled “La Fete Galante”.
The Fete Galante paintings were a genre within the French 18th century rococo period of art.
I especially like Antoine Watteau’s (1684-1721) mixing of theater life with real life. In a way that the boundary between the two is completely blurred.
The lightness of being, the relaxed atmosphere, the costumes and the appreciation for intimacy: I find it all very appealing and tried to catch this joie de vivre, this lifestyle of la vie en rose in my latest art.🌹😘

Rococo
Fete galante paintings are an important part of the rococo art period. During this period the focus within European art changed. The sphere of influence of the hierarchical, standardized grandeur of the church and the royal court was waning. A new era dawned with increasing appreciation for intimacy and personal pleasures. Yet the lush outdoor environments of fête galante paintings were often borrowed from paintings from previous periods. Venetian paintings from the 16th century and Dutch paintings from the 17th century were particularly popular for this.

This work is also about my current favorite subject and belongs to the series: La Fête Galante. Mezzetino plays or tunes his guitar while in the background Marie-Anne de Cupis de Camargo dances. La Camargo was a famous French ballet dancer. She was responsible for interesting innovations in ballet. For example, she was one of the first to wear flat shoes instead of heels. She is also said to be as strong as male dancers.
