Blind Man's Bluff
Jean-Honoré Fragonard · 1757
Why it's great
A blindfolded girl reaches out as her friends laugh and dart away, in a woodland scene. Fragonard's picture is full of the lighthearted spirit of the Rococo. The leaves and silks swirl with color. It's a delightful picture of a game.

About the artist
Jean-Honoré Fragonard1732–1806 · born in Grasse · died in former 2nd arrondissement of Paris
Jean-Honoré Fragonard was born in Grasse, in the south of France, and moved to Paris as a boy. He studied in Italy and became a star of the Rococo style, painting playful, romantic scenes for the nobility. After the French Revolution, his style fell out of fashion, and he spent his last years nearly forgotten in Paris. Today we again admire his speed and charm.
