Jean-Honore Fragonard

Jean-Honore Fragonard (1732–1806), trained with Chardin and Boucher and won the Prix de Rome before turning from public history painting to intimate subjects for private patrons. The Swing marks this pivot, leading toward his later cycles such as The Progress of Love. His sparkling technique and playful narratives epitomize late Ancien Régime taste ^[4][1].
