Fragonard’s Enterprise: The Artist and the Literature of Travel
Curator Gloria Williams Sander discusses the drawings created by a young Jean-Honoré Fragonard (French, 1732–1806) during his first and most important stay in Italy in the mid-18th century. These exquisite works document Fragonard’s voyage with his patron Jean Claude Richard de Saint-Non to see the great artistic treasures of Florence, Bologna, and Padua, among other cities. This video was created in conjunction with the Fragonard’s Enterprise: The Artist and the Literature of Travel, on view July 17, 2015–January 04, 2016.
