PIERROT |1719| by JEAN-ANTOINE WATTEAU

This painting (formerly known as GILLES) depicts PIERROT, a traditional character in Italian commedia dell'arte. He is elevated on center stage in what appears to be a garden and he faces the viewer with a downcast expression as his white satin costume dominates, its ballooning midsection lit up.

He seems almost like a two-dimensional cut-out figure. Other stock characters surround him but Pierrot remains separate as if he has stepped out of their scene. The negative space in the upper left further emphasizes PIERROT'S isolation.

WATTEAU pioneered the artistic representation of theatrical worlds, a distinctive Rococo genre, and he also recast the character of PIERROT from a kind of bumbling, lovelorn fool into a figure of alienated longing, the figure of PIERROT became a figure of the artist's alter ego, this painting influenced a number of later art movements and artists.

JONATHAN JONES wrote, "WATTEAU makes the fiction of the picture manifest," as the character, "in his discomfort and alienation, rebels not only against his stock character role in the comedy, but his role in this painting. His stepping out of the play is also a stepping out of the fiction painted by Watteau."
