The Fair at Bezons
Artist: Jean-Baptiste Joseph Pater (French, 1695–1736)
Original Dimensions: 42" x 56"
Location: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
About Artwork: (ca. 1733) "Pater’s painting, already described as his masterpiece in the eighteenth century, depicts an annual fair held on the outskirts of Paris with some 170 different figures. During a period when popular entertainment regularly influenced high culture, the fair at Bezons inspired a play, a ballet-pantomime, and several artworks. People from all classes enjoy the festivities, food, and informal entertainments, which include musicians and a performing monkey on stage. The idyllic, make-believe atmosphere derives from the work of Antoine Watteau, who himself had looked to fair scenes by Peter Paul Rubens. The dancer at center may be Marie-Anne Botot d’Angeville, a famous comic actress; behind her to the left is Pierrot, a stock character from the Italian commedia dell’arte often found in paintings by Watteau." - (The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York)
