École FRANÇAISE du XVIIIe, entourage of Jean-Honoré FRAGONARD (Grasse, 1732 - Paris, 1806) L'Amour vainqueur. Canvas. Height. 65 Width. 81 cm. (restorations). Provenance : - at Pardo, Paris, in 1990, - collection blésoise. Love conquerors all, canvas painted by the entourage of Jean-Honoré Fragonard, French school of the 18th century Exhibition: Three masters of French Rococo: Boucher, Fragonard, Lancret, Tokyo-Osaka-Yokohama, 1990, reproduced in colours nos 38 and 39. Patrice Marandel attributed our painting - part of a pair with Love as a Sentinel - to Fragonard: they would have been executed for the decoration of a Parisian hotel around 1770. In particular, our winning Love can be compared to another putto, in a similar position, appearing on a panel in the living room of the engraver Gilles Demarteau (Paris, Musée Carnavalet). It is interesting to compare these two works with two small projects of a mural composition in pen and brown wash on sketch representing Architecture and Poetry (Besançon, Musée des Beaux-Arts, see J.-P. Cuzin, Fragonard, vie et ?oeuvre, Paris, 1988, reproduced no. 171). Automatically translated by DeepL. To see the original version, click here.
