Question

This painting inspired a pastel and charcoal series of an urban wasteland made in the 1980s by William Kentridge. In a darker poem inspired by this painting, a traveler sees birds pecking at a corpse on a “gallows tree.” On the right side of this reception piece, a bow and quiver sit below a statue adorned with pink roses. (10[1]-5[1])Though its main version is in the (10[1])Louvre, a second version of this painting is in Berlin’s Charlottenburg Palace, which also houses its artist’s painting of works being boxed up at a dealer’s (10[1]-5[1])shop. (10[9]-5[1])On the left of (10[1])this painting, a red cloth drapes the prow of a ship, (10[1])above which (10[2])fly several cupids. (10[2])It is unclear whether the joyous aristocrats in this fête galante are heading to (10[1])or from the title (10[1]-5[1])Greek (10[1])island. (10[6]-5[2])For 10 points, (10[1])name this Rococo (10[1])painting (10[1])by Jean-Antoine Watteau. ■END■ (10[3]0[9])

ANSWER: The Embarkation for Cythera [or The Embarkation to Cythera; or The Voyage to Cythera; or Pilgrimage to the Isle of Cythera; or L’embarquement pour Cythère; accept reasonable translations mentioning a journey to or from Cythera] (The poem in the second sentence is “A Voyage to Cythera” by Charles Baudelaire. The other Watteau painting is The Shop Sign of Gersaint.)
