A comprehensive monograph on French artist Jean-Honoré Fragonard for only £11.95. Languages included: FR, EN, DE, NL, IT, ES. Jean-Honoré Fragonard is one of the most brilliant and fascinating painters of the 18th century. Heir to the Rococo style, he captured the art of living and sensuality of his era in elegant, light-hearted and witty compositions. This beautiful book offers a refined immersion into Fragonard's world: his famous gallant scenes, such as Le Verrou (The Lock) and L'Escarpolette (The Swing), his fresh portraits of children, his light-filled landscapes and his astonishingly virtuoso drawings.
Through more than 100 carefully reproduced works, this book reveals an artist who is much more complex than the frivolous image to which he is sometimes reduced. Fragonard, a painter of intimacy as much as of celebration, embodies a certain idea of happiness and freedom that is precious and timeless. A captivating read for any lover of art and cultural history.
