On November 7, French teacher Virginie Mahou attended a workshop at the Metropolitan Museum of Art about the current exhibition on Jean-Antoine Watteau (1684-1721), “Art, Music, and Theater,” in which attendees discussed the connections between these different arts. Afterwards, she had the Class XII students in her French Advanced Readings Class study French poetry inspired by Watteau paintings, in particular those dealing with the topic of the fête galante (feast of coutship). The students compared the poems and the paintings, notably “The Pilgrimage to the Island of Cythera,” focusing on the inspiring influences.
On November 19, Ms. Mahou and her students attended a Gallery Talk at the Metropolitan, “exploring the place of music and theater in the work of the artist, comparing the imagery of power associated with the court of the Sun King, Louis XIV, with a more optimistic and mildly subversive imagery of pleasure developed in contemporary opera-ballet and theater.” The students were enthralled by the talk, especially because they had just finished studying Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme, a comedy-ballet by Molière.
Watteau, "The Pilgrimage to the Island of Cythera"
That evening, Ms. Mahou brought her class to a poetry-reading entitled “Watteau and Words” by Philippe de Montebello, until last year the longstanding director of the Museum. Mr. de Montebello read French poems by writers whom Watteau had inspired—notably Théophile Gautier, Albert Samain, Paul Verlaine, Arthur Rimbaud, and Charles Baudelaire. The students enjoyed listening both to poems they had studied in class and to poems they heard for the first time, appreciating the music of the words and language.
To conclude the unit, the students chose a painting and wrote their own poem inspired by the painting, thus experiencing to the full the interdisciplinary nature of art, history, and poetry.
