Fragonard, Jean-Honoré (1732-1806)


French painter



A prolific painter Fragonard studied under Chardin and Boucher.



He won the Prix de Rome in 1752.



His works tend to be executed in a lighthearted style and often of a frivolous nature



His subjects include landscapes, children and family scenes but perhaps he is most remembered for his erotic canvases.
