An in-depth study of Fragonard's series of paintings The Progress of Love, one of the masterpieces of French 18th-century art A new understanding of the original sequence in which they appeared, the order in which Fragonard intended them to be seen - first in Louveciennes, then in Grasse - and the meaning he assigned to each of them Tells the enthralling story of how the paintings were rediscovered in the late 19th century and how they eventually came to The Frick Collection This richly illustrated volume reveals the intriguing story behind the commission, rejection, and rehousing of Jean- Honoré Fragonard's Progress of Love, a series of 14 paintings considered by many to be the artist's masterpiece. Fragonard (1732-1806) completed four large canvases for the comtesse du Barry's pavilion at Louveciennes, but they were replaced and returned to the artist. In 1790 Fragonard moved them to his cousin's house in Grasse, and over the course of the year painted two further large-scale works and 10 additional panels. With 140 colour images of the Fragonard paintings, details, shots of the room, plans, original sketches, and other comparative images, author Colin Bailey explores the commission of the four main panels, their original arrangement at Louveciennes and the possible reasons for their rejection. Equally enthralling is the history of how the paintings were rediscovered in the late 19th century and how they eventually came to The Frick Collection.
