Portraits of Fragonard. The Mastery and Imagination of the Famous French Painter

The book "Portraits of Fragonard. The Mastery and Imagination of the Famous French Painter" for the first time in domestic art studies specially examines the features of his portrait artistry, in some cases marked by Fragonard's engagement in creating many paintings on "frivolous" subjects popular in French painting of the 18th century. This album will make you look at the legacy of Jean-Honoré Fragonard (1732–1806) in a different light. The author touches upon the theme of portraiture, which is usually little mentioned in descriptions of the work of this French artist. In the pages of the book, we will see the vivid characters of a long-gone era: delicate female figures and temperamental male figures. It contains a large number of illustrations, with many paintings featuring enlarged fragments, allowing us to observe the pictorial mastery of Jean-Honoré Fragonard in detail.
