The Swing by Jean-Honoré Fragonard

The Swing by Jean-Honoré Fragonard is a work belonging to the Rococo style and which appears today in the Wallace Collection museum. This painting was first commissioned by the Baron de Saint Julien to paint Gabriel-François Doyen. He had to represent his mistress on an escapolette. He refuses and it is the "painter of frivolity": Jean-Honoré Fragonard who will depict the desired scene. After this commission, the painter becomes more recognized and over the reproductions, several interpretations appear (see the pin on the analysis of the work). The painting was bypassed by Disney in 2013 for the animated movie Snow Queen.

"The Kiss" by Francesco Hayez (1859)

Francesco Hayez is an Italian painter, originally from Venice. He was one of the leading artists of the mid-19th century Romanticism in Milan. Stendhal considered him the best painter of the time. He painted the Kiss in 1859, considered one of his best works. It is also his most popular painting. The latter is a troubadour style. The decor and clothing of the characters suggest that the scene takes place in the Middle Ages. This oil on canvas highlights a couple who exchange a kiss. The anonymity and the subject of this work makes it universal: Two lovers exchange a passionate kiss. Around the couple, the colors are bright and bright, but on the edges, the colors are darker.
