Exhibition: Watteau at Teylers Museum in Haarlem
Mimi Blogger Team went to the opening of the ‘Watteau’ exhibition at Teylers museum.
Jean-Antoine Watteau’s (1684-1721) work marked the beginning of the Rococo movement. More than 60 paintings and drawings by Watteau and followers can be seen at Teylers Museum. Designs by fashion students at the Rietveld Academy, made with Watteau’s paintings in mind, are situated throughout the museum as well.
