Episode Synopsis "9. Jean-Honoré Fragonard"

He was a painter during the Rococo period, and one of the most decadent eras in history – the reign of Louis XVI and his wife, Marie Antoinette.  His paintings exuded the beauty, playfulness, frivolity and wealth of the French Aristocracy. But this era would come to an abrupt end. In this episode, we will talk about Jean-Honoré Fragonard, and one of his most famous works, Young Girl Reading.
