''Group of Comic and Tragic Actors'' (also known as ''Italian Comedians'') is a painting by the French artist Jean-Antoine Watteau, created in the early 18th century. This artwork is one of Watteau's many depictions of actors from the Commedia dell'arte, a form of theater characterized by improvised performances based on established character types wearing masks with exaggerated features.

The painting is notable for its blend of the theatrical and the pastoral, a common theme in Watteau's oeuvre, which often explored the interplay between reality and illusion. ''Group of Comic and Tragic Actors'' showcases a troupe of actors in a natural setting, possibly preparing for a performance or resting after one. The composition is marked by a sense of movement and liveliness, with the figures arranged in a dynamic, almost casual grouping that suggests both camaraderie and the transience of their art form.

Watteau's masterful use of color and light imbues the scene with a sense of harmony and poignancy, reflecting the fleeting nature of pleasure and the underlying melancholy that often accompanies it. The painting captures the duality of the actors' lives, contrasting their public personas with their private selves, and the joy of performance with the inherent sadness of the roles they play.

''Group of Comic and Tragic Actors'' is a significant work within Watteau's body of art, as it encapsulates the themes of love, theater, and the passage of time—motifs that are recurrent throughout his career. The painting is also an important example of the Rococo style, with its emphasis on grace, lightness, and gentle action. Watteau's influence on later artists and his contribution to the Rococo movement make this painting a valuable piece for both art historians and enthusiasts alike.

The painting is held in a prominent public collection and has been the subject of scholarly attention, contributing to our understanding of Watteau's artistic intentions and the cultural context of his time. ''Group of Comic and Tragic Actors'' remains a testament to Watteau's ability to capture the complexities of human emotion and the beauty of ephemeral moments through his art.
