In the history of painting, Jean-Honoré Fragonard’s The Swing, finished in 1767, is unmatched in its frivolity and over-the-top romance.
At the center of the image, a pretty young woman clothed in a billowing, ruffled, ballet-pink dress floats in a dramatically lit clearing, swaying above the ground on a crimson-cushioned swing. She flicks her high-heeled shoe towards a mischievous cupid sculpture while she flirts with the man sprawled in the bushes beneath her.
While there’s plenty of intrigue in the story of its making, The Swing ultimately revels in fun and fantasy. Its decadent subject and intricate detail making it one of the most famous Rococo paintings.
