About
Why this artist matters now
Claude-Henri Watelet was a French painter and etcher active in the eighteenth century. A fermier-général by profession, he pursued painting, printmaking, writing on the arts, and garden design. His 1774 essay Essai sur les jardins introduced English landscape garden principles to France, drawing on contemporary English theory. Watelet was a central figure in Parisian artistic and intellectual circles of his era.
