"Le Départ pour Cythère" (The Embarkation for Cythera) is a celebrated painting by the French Rococo artist Jean-Antoine Watteau, created in 1717. This masterpiece is widely regarded as one of Watteau's finest works and is a quintessential example of the fête galante genre, which he pioneered. The painting depicts an amorous scene where elegantly dressed couples prepare to depart for the mythical island of Cythera, the birthplace of Venus, the goddess of love. The composition is imbued with a sense of romanticism and wistful melancholy, capturing the fleeting nature of love and beauty.

Watteau's use of soft, pastel colors and delicate brushwork creates a dreamlike atmosphere, enhancing the idyllic and otherworldly quality of the scene. The figures are arranged in a flowing, serpentine line that guides the viewer's eye through the composition, from the lush, verdant landscape in the foreground to the distant horizon where the couples' destination lies. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the intricate costumes and the expressive postures of the figures, which convey a range of emotions from anticipation to contemplation.

"Le Départ pour Cythère" was submitted by Watteau as his reception piece to the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture in Paris, where it was met with great acclaim. The painting's success solidified Watteau's reputation as a leading artist of his time and contributed to the popularity of the Rococo style in 18th-century France. Today, the work is housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, where it continues to captivate audiences with its enchanting depiction of love and longing.
