Answer:

Jean-Antoine Watteau

Step-by-step explanation:

Jean-Antoine Watteau (1684-1721) is a symbol of the French rococo - with its idyllic scene paintings, rich in detail and light-colored atmosphere. The artist's works suggest the idea of happiness, but there is much more beyond this surface. Each image reveals a Watteau who, in addition to mastering the technique, had a fine critique of society and humanity itself.
