Artist
Antoine Watteau (1684-1721) invented a category of his own — the fete galante, elegant figures drifting through parkland in silks, somewhere between theatre and daydream. The French Academy had to create a new classification to admit him. He was tubercular and died at thirty-six, and there is a melancholy under the silk that later imitators never managed to reproduce.
