Longhi was one of the most popular artists in eighteenth-century Venice. Turning away from expansive historical and religious
subjects, he devoted himself to detailed scenes of contemporary life. Like the work of two French counterparts, Nicolas Lancret
and Jean-Antoine Watteau, his art reflects growing attacks on societal conventions, which became one of the hallmarks of the
Age of Enlightenment.
