The Enigma of Watteau's Pierrot
November 14 2024
Video: Louvre
Posted by Adam Busiakiewicz:
The Louvre in Paris published this rather fascinating video a couple of weeks ago dedicated to the enigma of Jean-Antoine Watteau's famous Pierrot. The video also examines the recent conservation of the painting, which appears to have been rather visually transformative.
The museum's current exhibition on the work, entitled A New Look at Watteau, runs until 3rd February 2025.
