Jean-Honore Fragonard (1732-1806) was a French painter whose manner
is distinguished by remarkable facility, exuberance, and hedonism,
as well as a prolific output - he produced more than 550
paintings.One of his most striking pieces, "The Fountain of Love",
is part of a series of works known as the 'Allegories of Love' that
display an exquisite sense and atmosphere of intimacy and
eroticism. This lavishly illustrated volume presents a detailed and
engaging comparison and analysis of the compositions, iconography,
and sources of the Allegories in their historical and artistic
context. It also discusses the transcendental aspect of love in the
Allegories and the concept of Romanticism on the eve of the French
Revolution. This volume accompanies Consuming Passion: Fragonard's
Allegories of Love, an exhibition of the artist's work that opens
at the J. Paul Getty Museum in February 2008.
