ABSTRACT A theatrical portrait is an image of an actor or actors in character. This genre was widespread in eighteenth century London and was practised by a large number of painters and engravers of all levels of ability. The sources of the genre lay in a number of diverse styles of art, including the court portraits of Lely and Kneller and the fetes galantes of Watteau and Mercier. Three types of media for theatrical portraits were particularly prevalent in London, between ca745 and 1800 : painting, print and book illustration.

    National Gallery of Art NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART ONLINE EDITIONS French Paintings of the Fifteenth through Eighteenth Centuries Antoine Watteau French, 1684 - 1721 The Italian Comedians probably 1720 oil on canvas overall: 63.8 × 76.2 cm (25 1/8 × 30 in.) framed: 94.62 × 107 × 13.65 cm (37 1/4 × 42 1/8 × 5 3/8 in.) Samuel H. Kress Collection 1946.7.9 ENTRY Numerous paintings with figures in theatrical costume attest to Jean Antoine Watteau’s interest in the theater. In The Italian Comedians, however—as in others of his works in this genre—the identity of some of the characters remains uncertain or equivocal because he sometimes reused the same model for different figures and modified standard costumes according to his whim. Pierre Rosenberg has drawn attention to the announcement in the Mercure de France of the 1733 print after The Italian Comedians [fig. 1] by Bernard Baron (1696–1762): “These are almost all portraits of men skilled in their art, whom Watteau painted in the different clothing of the actors of the Italian Theatre.” [1] It would seem, then, that the painting does not record an actual performance; and we lack evidence as to who these individuals might actually be. It was Baron’s print (included in the Recueil Jullienne, the compendium of prints after Watteau’s work) that gave The Italian Comedians its title. The scene appears to represent a curtain call of the Comédie Italienne, the French version of the commedia dell’arte, which presented stock characters in predictably humorous plots. A red curtain has been drawn aside from a stage where fifteen figures stand together.

  • Online Course
    Online Course Introducing… Watteau and His World Dates Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 July 2021 Times 11.00–13.00 BST Location Zoom (online) Tutor Jacqui Ansell Level All Levels Antoine Watteau, Voulez vous triompher des Belles?, c.1714-17 (detail) Course Description Watteau was born in the reign of Louis XIV – the absolute monarch who styled himself ‘The Sun King’. In 1684 as Jean-Antoine Watteau entered the world, the finishing touches were being put to the Hall of Mirrors at the Palace of Versailles, the scheme designed to magnify the magnificence of the King. The artists and artisans of Louis XIV’s court, such as the great furniture maker André-Charles Boulle, created a visual culture dominated by the grandeur and gravitas of the Baroque. Watteau’s innovative art was to lighten the palette of artists, and lighten the mood of their art, to pave the way for the delicate pastel colours and frivolous subject matter of the Rococo style. Thanks to the enlightened taste of its founders, the Wallace Collection is a showcase for many of Watteau’s most important artworks. In exploring the life and legacy of this intriguing artist, we will also revel in details of the rich tapestry of ideas and objects that made up Watteau’s world. Session One – Watteau’s Life: The Man, the Myths and the Masterpieces Watteau’s career was cut short by his death from tuberculosis aged 36. Despite the short duration of his working life, he made a unique contribution to ‘High Art’ with his ‘Fêtes Galantes’ – scenes of the rich at play.
