The Watteau of Lille: Louis and François Watteau

Description

A comprehensive study of Louis Watteau (1731–1798) and François Watteau (1758–1823), two painters known as the "Watteau of Lille," often confused with their uncle Antoine. This work distinguishes their artistic styles: Louis excelled in genre painting, depicting rural and military scenes inspired by Northern European art, while François developed a distinct approach. Published by Arthena in 1998, this edition features a publisher’s hardcover binding with illustrated dust jacket, quarto format (28 x 21 cm), and 592 pages. A fine copy, with no shipping outside the European Union.
