The Getty Museum is holding an exhibition "Surprise: Antoine Watteau in Los Angeles.".

Visitors are treated to an exhibit marking the 300th anniversary of the artist's death, which brings together two dozen works by Watteau from Los Angeles public museums and private collections, and commemorates the Getty Museum's recent acquisition of the painting "Surprise."

Exquisite scenes of courtship, music and dancing, lovers' walks and theatrical characters: this is the imaginary world created by the greatest French painter and draftsman of the 18th century, Antoine Watteau.
