Jean-Honoré Fragonard (1732-1806). French painter whose scenes of frivolity and gallantry are among the most complete embodiments of the Rococo spirit. Jean-Honoré Fragonard was a pupil of Chardin for a short while and also of Boucher, before winning the Prix de Rome in 1752. From 1756 to 1761 Jean-Honoré Fragonard was in Italy, where he eschewed the painting of the approved masters of the High Renaissance, but formed a particular admiration for Tiepolo.
He travelled and drew landscapes with Hubert Robert and responded with especial sensitivity to the gardens of the Villa d'Este at Tivoli, memories of which occur in Fragonard paintings throughout his career. In 1765 Jean-Honoré Fragonard became a member of the Academy with his historical picture in the Grand Manner Coroesus Sacrificing himself to Save Callirhoe (Louvre, Paris). Jean-Honoré Fragonard soon abandoned this style, however, for the erotic canvases by which he is chiefly known (The Swing, Wallace Collection, London, c. 1766). After his marriage in 1769 the artist also painted children and family scenes. The artist stopped exhibiting at the Salon in 1767 and almost all Jean-Honoré Fragonard painting was done for private patrons.

Among them was Mme du Barry, Louis XV's most beautiful mistress, for whom he painted the Fragonard paintings that are often regarded as his masterpieces -- the four canvases representing The Progress of Love (Frick Collection, New York, 1771-73). These, however, were returned by Mme du Barry and it seems that taste was already turning against Fragonard's lighthearted style. Jean-Honoré Fragonard tried unsuccessfully to adapt himself to the new Neoclassical vogue, but in spite of the admiration and support of David he was ruined by the Revolution and died in poverty. - Jean-Honoré Fragonard paintings artist of hedonism and Rococo style.

He was a prolific painter, but the artist rarely dated Fragonard paintings and it is not easy to chart his stylistic development. Alongside those of Boucher, Jean-Honoré Fragonard art seem to sum up an era. His delicate coloring, witty characterization, and spontaneous brushwork ensured that even his most erotic subjects are never vulgar, and his finest work has an irresistible verve and joyfulness.
