Rococo painter Jean-Honoré Fragonard (1732 – 1806) is known for playful images, but he also painted breathtaking religious subjects, historical and mythological themes, landscapes and intimate scenes. Earning an associate academy membership at the acclaimed Salon, Fragonard declined a career in history painting, instead creating lighthearted, erotic scenes for private clients and members of the court. After marrying, he focused on painting family groups. Many respected museums display Fragonard's work, including Paris’ Louvre and New York’s Metropolitan Museum.
This giclée print delivers a vivid image with maximum color accuracy and exceptional resolution. The standard for museums and galleries around the world, giclée (French for “to spray”) is a printing process where millions of ink droplets are sprayed onto the paper’s surface. With the great degree of detail and smooth transitions of color gradients, giclée prints appear much more realistic than other reproduction prints. The high-quality paper (235 gsm) is acid free with a smooth surface.
