Mezzetin, 1718-1720. Artist: Jean-Antoine Watteau
Mezzetin (half-measure), 1718-1720. Mezzetin, a stock character of the commedia dell arte, the improvisational theater form of Italian origin, was an amorous valet who frequently engaged in the pursuit of unrequited love. Here he is shown playing the guitar before a garden in which a young woman - perhaps a statue, perhaps the painting of a statue on a stage set - stands with her back turned, presumably rejecting his romantic entreaties. From the collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, U.S.A

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Jean-Antoine Watteau's masterpiece, "Mezzetin" created between 1718 and 1720. Watteau, a renowned French artist, beautifully captures the essence of Mezzetin, a beloved character from the commedia dell'arte tradition. Mezzetin was known as an amorous valet who tirelessly pursued unrequited love. In this scene, Mezzetin is depicted playing his guitar in front of a picturesque garden. The garden features a young woman standing with her back turned to him - she could be either a statue or a painting on a stage set. Her posture suggests that she is rejecting his romantic advances. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring this eighteenth-century theatrical setting to life. Watteau skillfully portrays the emotions of rejection and longing through his use of color and composition. Housed in The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, this artwork exemplifies Watteau's mastery in capturing human sentiment within the context of theater and romance. It serves as an allegory for unfulfilled desires and unattainable love. This print by AccuSoft Inc. , taken from Heritage Images' collection, allows us to appreciate the beauty and complexity of Watteau's work while immersing ourselves in the world of French art during the eighteenth century.
