While Watteau was ethereal and profound, Fragonard was delightfully light. He captivates us even as he amuses himself, his emotional distance ever apparent. Specialising in \"fêtes galantes\" executed in the Rococo style, Fragonard was a pupil of François Boucher and also studied under Chardin. Heeding Boucher's advice, he portrayed romantic gardens replete with fountains, grottos, temples, and terraces-settings that also reveal the influence of Tiepolo. With King Louis XV as his patron, Fragonard shifted his focus towards depicting the pleasure-seeking and licentious court, offering scenes rich in love and voluptuousness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maggiorino Di Calosso,Edmond Goncourt,Jules Goncourt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1639195963\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781639195961\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Parkstone Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/06\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.96lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.63h x 8.50w x 0.69d","brand":"Maggiorino Di Calosso","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47965494116607,"sku":"9781639195961","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fe77285a-744d-41c3-9adf-d0bbcecfbeba.jpg?v=1767280943","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jean-honorzs-fragonard-maggiorino-di-calosso-9781639195961","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
