Jean-Honoré Fragonard 022 - The Yorck Project Masterpieces of Painting

Best known for his hedonistic scenes, Jean Honoré Fragonard (1732–1806) was a French Rococo painter and printmaker, who was one of the most prolific painters of the Ancién Regime. He showed a great talent for art at an early age and was sent to study with the Rococo painter Francois Boucher, who soon trusted him enough to paint replicas of his works. By the time was 20 years old, he won the Prix de Rome, a scholarship to the French Academy, with his painting Jeroboam Sacrificing to the Golden Calf.
