“View through the Trees in the Park of Pierre Crozat” is an oil on canvas painting by Antoine Watteau, created around 1715. The artwork belongs to the Rococo art movement and represents a pastoral scene. It measures 47 by 55 centimeters and is currently housed in the Museum of Fine Arts (MFA) in Boston, Massachusetts, United States.
The artwork depicts an elegantly dressed group of figures leisurely interacting in a forested park. The dense, lush trees frame the scene, directing the viewer’s gaze toward a distant architectural structure, a classicizing ruin, illuminated under the soft, diffused light of the sky. The figures appear engaged in relaxed activities, accentuating the leisurely, idyllic nature of the scene typical of Rococo themes. The intricate detailing of the trees and foliage creates a sense of depth and tranquility, contributing to the overall pastoral ambiance of the composition.
