Biography: Jean-Honore Fragonard was born in 1732 in Grasse, Alpes-Maritimes, France. He died in Paris in 1806 at the age of 74. He studied art under Jean-Baptiste Chardin (1699-1779) and Francois Boucher (1703-1770). He became the favorite painter of the Ancien Regime, selling paintings of sensuous love scenes to the King, royalty, and other aristocrats. The French Revolution left him without his patrons, most of whom were guillotined or exiled. He lived to see the Napoleonic era, but died almost completely forgotten. Fragonard is considered to be one of the most important figures in the Rococo art movement, along with Boucher and Jean Antoine Watteau (1684-1721). The Rococo style in painting was a development from the Baroque art movement. Click any thumbnail to view a larger version or make a purchase.
