information from the Kimbell Art Museum catalog
description: Fragonard was the last and perhaps the greatest of the French Rococo painters. A pupil of François Boucher, from whom he developed his fluent handling of paint, he produced some of the most masterful and hedonistic decorations of the eighteenth century. A less familiar facet of his work is represented by a group of paintings inspired by seventeenth-century Dutch landscapes. These addressed a growing appreciation among a segment of the artist’s clientele for the simpler, more naturalistic style of the Dutch School.
