EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Fragonard's masterpiece, "Oil on canvas" a mesmerizing work of art that measures 37x45 cm and is housed in the prestigious Louvre Museum in Paris, France. The painting, also known as "Putting a Match to Tinder" or "The Powder Keg" exudes an air of sensuality and eroticism. In this rococo composition, we are transported into an intimate scene where a beautiful nude woman lies peacefully asleep on an oval-shaped bed. Surrounding her slumber are delicate cherubs and putti, adding a touch of innocence to the otherwise provocative atmosphere. Fragonard masterfully captures the vulnerability and allure of his subject through his skilled brushstrokes. The play of light and shadow accentuates every curve and contour of her nakedness, creating a sense of both mystery and desire. The artist's attention to detail extends beyond the figures themselves; he meticulously renders the intricate furniture and furnishings that adorn the room. This meticulousness adds depth to the narrative unfolding before our eyes. As we gaze upon this exquisite print from Bridgeman Images, we cannot help but be drawn into Fragonard's world—a world where passion meets tranquility, where beauty intertwines with vulnerability. It serves as a reminder that even within our dreamscape, there exists an undeniable power that ignites our desires like flames dancing upon tinder.
