The Eighteenth Century | |
|---|---|
 | From the French:The rarest of things in the world, next to a spirit of discernment, are diamonds... |
The Swingby Jean honoure Fragonard sums up both his art and the century. Commissioned for a Baron's delectation, it captures the spirit and morality of the time. Being pushed by a Bishop, the young maiden on the swing lets her skirts fly up and kicks off her slipper, while below, her young lover swoons at the exquisite sight. | |
