Fragonard
French Rococo master
Jean-Honoré Fragonard was an 18th-century French painter known for playful, sensuous scenes of aristocratic life.
His most famous work, *The Swing*, epitomizes Rococo style with its flirtatious subject and lush brushwork.
The name sometimes appears as shorthand for that ornate, pleasure-seeking aesthetic: The room was decorated in full Fragonard mode—all pastels and cherubs.
