Exhibition Fragonard, Les Plaisirs d'un siècle, from 3 October 07 to 13 January 08
Musée Jacquemart-André 158, boulevard Haussman Paris 8° +33 1 45 62 11 59To Fragonard, any subject was interesting as long as one could derive pleasure from it: the pleasure of painting it, that of watching it, and the pleasure of imagination. From the court to the rustic countryside, from aristocratic libertinage to the heroes of mythology, from a modern sultana to the ancient poets; and sometimes, these all went together. The exhibition at the Musée Jacquemart-André is the ideal promenade to prepare an afternoon siesta with one's lover.
