About the piece

Painted in 1767 by Jean-Honoré Fragonard, 'The Swing' is perhaps the most famous work of the Rococo movement. It depicts a young woman in a shimmering silk dress soaring through the air, while her lover hide in the shadows and an older man pushes the swing. The painting is celebrated for its luminous light, fluid brushwork, and whimsical sense of movement.
