        <h1 class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Jean-Honore Fragonard (1732-1806)</h1>
      </div>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/fragonard/Fragonard_SelfPortrait.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Self-Portrait</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Jean-Honore Fragonard is remembered as a painter of dandy, lighthearted Parisians during the pre-Revolutionary era. Although Fragonard did not receive academic artistic training, he was able to study under great masters of the time such as Boucher, Van Loo and Chardin. He showed such promise, even as a young artist, that he won the Prix de Rome in 1752, and would eventually move to Rome to stay at the French Academy in 1755.</p>

      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">The Reader</div>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/fragonard/Fragonard_Inspiration1769.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Inspiration, 1769</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">It is said that it was during his stay at the French Academy in Rome that Fragonard became inspired by the gardens, fountains and mystical landscaping that would become a major part of his oeuvre.</p>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/fragonard/Fragonard_TheSwing1767.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">The Swing, 1767</div>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/fragonard/Fragonard_TheBathers.jpg" alt="art" width="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">The Bathers</div>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/fragonard/Fragonard_TheShepherdess.jpg" alt="art" width="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">The Shepherdess, 1750</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">While in Rome, he studied under Tiepolo, and much of his work included mythological or historical figures as well as landscapes.</p>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/fragonard/Fragonard_LeCombatdeMinerveContreMars.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Le Combat de Minerve Contre Mars</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Upon Fragonard’s return to Paris, he began to gain many patrons, including the Madame de Pompadour. He was accepted into the Academy in 1761, and continued to paint pictures of wealthy Parisians flamboyantly engaged in the light and airy high life.</p>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/fragonard/Fragonard_TheLoveLetter.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">The Love Letter</div>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/fragonard/Fragonard_Souvenir.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Souvenir</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Fragonard continued to find relative success painting interiors, family portraits and receiving commissions until the onset of the Revolutionary War.</p>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/fragonard/Fragonard_TheStolenKiss1788.jpg" alt="art" width="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">The Stolen Kiss</div>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/fragonard/Fragonard_PortraitofaYoungBoy.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Portrait of a Young Boy</div>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/fragonard/Fragonard_TheFountainofLove.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">The Fountain of Love</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Sadly, after the war, Fragonard no longer had a place in the contemporary art community. Art had become somber after the war and new art techniques were arising. His fun and whimsical style had become outdated and his patrons no longer sought him out. Fragonard died in poverty and relative obscurity shortly after being evicted from his apartment in 1806.</p>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/fragonard/Fragonard_PortraitoftheArtistsSister1780.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Portrait of the Artist’s Sister, 1780</div>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/fragonard/Fragonard_Sketchblackchalk.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Sketch, black chalk, c. 1780</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Today, Fragonard finally receives the recognition that he deserved in life, and has been called one of the most original and brilliant painters of the 18th century. He is often compared to Rubens in the treatment of his models and subjects, and his work has become a major representative of the Lois XVI era in France. Today his work is housed in the Louvre and other collections in New York, Chicago and Boston…and perhaps even in your own home.</p>
