Jean-Honore Fragonard's The Swing is a beautiful, light, elegant, and soft painting created during the Rococo Era in 1766. I have seen this painting before, and it reminds me of a similar Rococo painting hanging on my living room wall. The pastel colors with the subtle attention to detail is exquisite. I am very fond of the scene itself: a very graceful girl is swinging timidly, but she has another flirtatious side to her. She is throwing her shoe at Cupid to signify her love for her lover. A very delicate theme, that has a very aristocratic taste to it.
