Age Of Enlightenment

A series of films devoted to the great works in painting history. Thanks to recent developments in animation techniques, the secrets of these images are revealed like thrilling adventures of discovery. Watteau: Pilgrimage to Cythera, Louvre Museum, Paris. This painting is no doubt one of the Louvre's greatest paintings. Painted by Watteau in 1717, reworked in a slightly altered version a few years later, this work belongs to the series of 'Galant Conversations' in which the artist from Valenciennes gave the best of himself. A mysterious work (What are they doing? Where are they doing?), that provokes many questions, with just as many different answers. Chardin 'The Skate', 1728, Louevre Museum, Paris. At first sight, 'The Skate' is a simple still life painted in the Dutch style by a young painter who didn't dare commit himself to grand historical scenes. However, the painting proved fascinating to Diderot, Proust and many others. Even today, it is one of the Louvre's biggest drawing cards, attracting a large number of visitors. Can we possibly discover the secret source of its fascination? Fragonard 'The Lock', circa 1775-1777, Louevre Museum, Paris. A young man and a young woman stand between a bed and a door. The scene could be trite and even trivial as the man is in his under garments, but no more is needed for Fragonard, painter of joyful life, to tell a story of sensual love. Each detail has a subtle meaning that reflects the traditions of pictorial science. Even if Fragonard painted profane love at the very moment it ends, the scene still has an air of mystery about it.
