Poussinists and Rubenists
(Seriously simplified)
In 1671, an argument began over whether colour or line was more important in painting. The poussinists, named after Nicolas's poussin, a leading baroque style painter who favoured line over colour and had logical, clear work, followed in the French artists footsteps. The Rubenists, named after Peter Paul Rubens, a Flemish artist also influential in the baroque art movement, followed in his footsteps in prioritising colour, movement and sensuality.
This debate was only ended in 1717, when Roger de piles was elected and member of the French academy, and Antione Watteau's "The Embarkation for Cythera" was accepted as his reception piece. The successors of this debate fell mostly of the shoulders of the Rubenists.
