Knowledgeable patrons, thorough artistic training and, from the 1730s, the opportunities for regular public exhibitions all contributed to this. See the tabloid Classification by : names artists places periods Description    Although grand narrative paintings continued to be made, the increasing informality of daily life was reflected in pictures of greater intimacy. The participants in Jean-Antoine Watteau's pictures express feelings by suggestive glances rather than gestures, while Jean-Siméon Chardin's children are sympathetically portrayed as individuals, rather than standardized images of childhood. Erotic art broke beyond the mythological or low-life to include subjects that were recognizably contemporary. Many painters adopted a lighter palette, frothier brushwork and swirling compositions but the 1780s saw a reaction to this. A new generation of painters, including Jacques-Louis David and Jean-François-Pierre Peyron, looked back to the classical compositions and more controlled brushwork of Raphael and Poussin.
