Скачать или смотреть It is not innocent | The Swing by Jean-Honoré Fragonard |

The Swing by Jean-Honoré Fragonard, painted in 1767, is one of the most famous works of the Rococo period. This seemingly lighthearted scene is filled with hidden meaning. A young woman is pushed on a swing by an older man, unaware that another man—her lover—is hiding in the bushes, looking up at her with admiration.

The woman’s flying shoe symbolizes carelessness and flirtation, while her playful smile suggests that she’s fully aware of the drama unfolding. The lush, overgrown garden mirrors the themes of love and sensuality, with Cupid statues watching over the scene as silent witnesses.

This painting was commissioned to celebrate a secret romance, making it both beautiful and a bit scandalous for its time. Its charm lies in its ability to combine elegance with hidden layers of passion and rebellion against societal norms.
