SynopsisFor many the name Fragonard immediately conjures up such famous works as The Swing and The Bolt. But while these canvases rank among the great masterpieces of the 18th century, the artist's oeuvre extends far beyond the merely erotic, The French painter Fragonard ranks among the great artists of the 18th century. Although he is too often dismissed as a painter of superficial boudoir scenes, this book reveals him to be a an artist whose strikingly varied range includes scenes of everyday family and country life. The sheer energy of his pencil and brush, combined with his rapid stroke and cheerful use of color, brings his subjects to life with vividness and imagination.
