Based on the historical contest, the debate among members of the French Royal Academy regarding the relative superiority of color or form, Watteau favored the "Rubenists"
The argument was between Poussinists and Rubenists. The Poussinists supported the idea that drawing was the most important thing in painting.
On the other hand, Rubenists supported the idea that color is the most important thing in painting.
This argument started in 1671, and by 1717, Antoine Watteau supported the Rubenists with his artwork, "The Embarkation for Cythera," which was accepted by the French Academy in 1717.
Hence, in this case, it is concluded that the correct answer is "Rubenists."
