ANTOINE WATTEAU: EMBARKATION FOR CYTHERA ... two versions



Louvre Version,  Painted in 1717

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Embarkation_for_Cythera

The Wikipedia article mentions FRIVOLITY ...

I am not sure if Human Pleasures, Human Love, and Romantic Idealism are entirely frivolous subjects.  

Where would humanity be without them ?













Berlin Version, Painted in 1718 / 1719
