Ancien Regime Leapfrog Pastoral Pleasure Pre Revolution Pre Revolutionary Rococo Lovers
A Game of Horse and Rider
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Jean-Honoré Fragonard, created between 1775-1780. This enchanting artwork, measuring 115x87.5 cm, can be found at the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC. The scene depicted in this pastoral landscape captures the essence of joyous play and leisure during the pre-revolutionary era in France. Set against a picturesque backdrop of a serene lake and lush greenery, children engage in an exhilarating game of leapfrog known as "cheval fondu". Their laughter echoes through the air as they take turns leaping over each other's backs with carefree abandon. Fragonard's masterful brushstrokes bring to life not only the playful children but also their surroundings. A boat gently glides on the tranquil waters, adding to the idyllic ambiance. In another corner, a couple immersed in love gazes affectionately at one another, reminding us that even amidst youthful exuberance, romance finds its place. This Rococo masterpiece showcases Fragonard's ability to capture fleeting moments of pleasure and entertainment with remarkable detail and elegance. It transports viewers back to an era defined by opulence and aristocratic indulgence - an ancien régime soon to be swept away by revolution. As we admire this exquisite print from Fine Art Finder without commercial intent or mention thereof, let us revel in its beauty while appreciating how art has preserved history for generations to come.
