The Swing
1767
Fragonard was one of the finest Rococo painters, who fell into near-complete obscurity in his later life, and it took many long years to pass, well after the artist's death, before his greatness was recognized again. I find that to be such an unfortunate circumstance that seems to affect so many artists, whom we now are completely enamored with. And Fragonard was such a wonderful Rococo artist in every aspect of painting, how could he be forgotten?
