A Boy in a Red-lined Cloak, 1780s. Creator: Jean-Honore Fragonard (French, 1732-1806)
A Boy in a Red-lined Cloak, 1780s. In the course of his long career, Fragonard produced more than 550 paintings. In this particular painting, the seventeenth-century costume, the brown palette, and his technique suggest that Fragonard is reflecting upon the work of Peter Paul Rubens and Rembrandt rather than his teacher Francois Boucher. While there is considerable evidence that the sitter is Alexander Evariste Fragonard, the artists son, this identity has never been confirmed

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Jean-Honore Fragonard's masterpiece, "A Boy in a Red-lined Cloak" created during the 1780s. Known for his extensive body of work, which includes over 550 paintings, Fragonard demonstrates his artistic prowess and versatility in this particular piece. Influenced by renowned artists such as Peter Paul Rubens and Rembrandt, Fragonard deviates from the style of his teacher Francois Boucher. The seventeenth-century costume depicted in the painting, along with its warm brown palette and skillful technique, reveals Fragonard's contemplation of these esteemed predecessors. While it is widely believed that the subject of this artwork is Alexander Evariste Fragonard, the artist's son, no definitive confirmation has been made regarding his identity. This adds an air of mystery to the composition and invites viewers to ponder upon the enigmatic figure portrayed. The oil on wood medium employed by Fragonard enhances the richness and depth of colors within this exquisite painting. Preserved at The Cleveland Museum of Art, this remarkable piece serves as a testament to Jean-Honore Fragonard's immense talent as a French painter during the eighteenth century. Presented by Heritage Art/Heritage Images (not affiliated with any commercial use), this print offers art enthusiasts an opportunity to appreciate and delve into one of history's most celebrated artworks.
