Biography
Jean-Honore Fragonard (b.1732 d.1806) was a French Rococo painter. He is known most commonly for his work The Swing (1767). Fragonard received a scholarship to study under the court painter to Louis XV, Carle Van Loo. He painted in a Rococo idiom, highlighting the beauty and playfulness of his subjects. The French Revolution meant Fragonard’s Rococo style fell out of popularity. He then moved towards a more neoclassical subject matter.
