A cluster of travellers with staffs stands at the left above a misty lake, rosy winged cherubs tumble through the sky, and a stone bust wound with roses stands at the right.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWatteau presented this canvas in 1717 as his reception piece for the Académie royale de Peinture et de Sculpture. It hung in the Academy's assembly room at the Louvre through the whole eighteenth century and was seized with the Academy's collections in 1795. The Louvre catalogues it as Pèlerinage à l'île de Cythère, with L'embarquement pour Cythère as the alternative title.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original: oil on canvas, 1717; Musée du Louvre, Paris.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJean-Antoine Watteau (1684–1721) was a French painter born in Valenciennes who came to Paris about 1702 and worked first for theatre-scene and decorative painters. In 1717 the Royal Academy accepted his Pilgrimage to the Island of Cythera under a category created for him, the fête galante: elegant couples, actors of the Italian comedy and music-making in parkland. His small, shimmering paintings opened the Rococo and shaped French art for a generation. He died of tuberculosis at thirty-six. His work is held by the Louvre, the Wallace Collection and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach print is made to our \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/archival-museum-standards\"\u003eArchival Museum Standards\u003c\/a\u003e: a 12-ink giclée, printed to order.
