On June 14, 1736, painter Jean-Honoré Fragonard was born in Grasse, France — one of the most important of the French Rococo, known for sensual and light canvases such as "The Swing". Fragonard, who depicted the hedonism of the Ancien Régime nobility, saw his style fall from fashion during the French Revolution and died in obscurity in 1806, though today he is considered a master of European decorative art.
