| Jean-Honoré Fragonard Young Girl Reading c. 1770 oil on canvas, 32.3"x 25.6" National gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. |
(5 April 1732– 22 August 1806)
Notable for his themes of love and romance, Fragonard was a French painter, whose lively and expressive brushstrokes influenced the later style of Impressionism.
He was highly prolific, producing over 500 paintings, sketches and etchings, yet his work remained largely forgotten until the late 19th century. Fragonard's son, Alexandre-Évariste, also became an artist.
