*Embarkation for Cytherea by Watteau; canvas; 129x191cm(51x75in); 1717[ce]. Schloss Charlottenburg, west Berlin.

[also known as Pilgrimage to the Isle of Cytherea. Not to be confused with the earlier version, similarly titled, in the Louvre, Paris. Both paintings in fact appear to depict a departure from the Isle of Cytherea, the birthplace of Venus.]
