The Swing
Jean-Honoré Fragonard1767Oil on canvas
The definitive Rococo painting — all powder pink, lush green, and theatrical artifice. A lady on a swing kicks her shoe toward a hidden admirer while her husband pushes from behind, oblivious.
Color Mood
Deliciously frivolous. Pink and green in their most confectionery forms — the entire painting feels like it was made of sugar. Rococo at its most unashamedly decorative.
