Jean-Honore Fragonard (1732–1806) was a French painter best known for his contributions to the Rococo movement. His use of vibrant colors and themes of hedonism were very popular with the upper class, however, the onset of the French Revolution forced him into hiding and most of his private patrons were either exiled or killed. One of Fragonard’s most well known paintings, The Swing, is considered to be one of the best paintings from the Rococo era.
