He revitalized the waning Baroque style, shifting it to the less severe, more naturalistic, less formally classical, Rococo. He was one of the most influential French painters of the early 18th century. He painted numerous scenes with Commedia dell'Arte characters and also invented a type of painting known as the Fête Galante - small cabinet pictures which explored the psychology of love, usually in a landscape setting.
