An erotic painting by Jean-Honoré Fragonard, “The Swing” flirted its way to being his most famous work. The technically proficient painting was so scandalous, it became an instant success. The piece depicts a woman revealing herself to a man who gleefully enjoys the view. It was allegedly commissioned by an aristocrat who pushed his mistress on a swing, unaware that her lover was hidden in nearby rosebushes. Despite the work’s explicitness, it exemplifies Fragonard’s (1732 – 1806) mastery of Rococo wit, playfulness and fascination with lush textures.
