One of My Top Artists: Jean-Honoré Fragonard

Jean-Honoré Fragonard (1732-1806) was one of the most prolific painters and draftsmen of the eighteenth century. Born in Grasse, France, and later moving to Paris, he trained under renowned artists and gained acclaim for his vibrant and whimsical Rococo style. Notable works include The Swing and the Progress of Love series. Despite his significant contributions, Fragonard preferred private commissions over public acclaim, leaving a lasting legacy as a master of intimate and evocative scenes.
