Artist Jean-Honoré Fragonard Grasse, 5 April 1732 - 22 August 1806, Paris
In Jean-Honoré Fragonard’s “fantasy portraits,” his congenial sitters are caught mid-stream in a range of pleasurable, intimate activities. The spontaneity and speed of his performance are palpable: hues are blended wet on wet; brush strokes retain their traces; the tip of his brush inscribes zig-zag scribbles deep into the impasto of ruffs, collerettes, and sleeves.

Painted in the late 1780s, Jean-Honore Fragonard's The Stolen Kiss is typical of Rococo styles popular prior to the French Revolution. Not only in the style of the painting but also the setting and content within it. Everything in the room is luxuriously rendered in fine detail and shading, especially the textiles in her dress, shawl, and curtains. Drawing inspiration from the Dutch masters and their fine handling of similar subjects, Fragonard successfully combined their methods with elegant eroticism so adored by the French aristocracy. A snapshot into a hidden moment of uncontainable young affection, this handmade reproduction of a master work is sure to be a conversation starter. 100% hand painted oil painting on artist grade canvas. Comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. Hand crafted means unique to every owner. Each canvas reproduction may very slightly in brush details due to the nature of being hand painted so no two paintings are the same.
