EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite oil on canvas painting, titled "Captured Kiss" by Jean-Honoré Fragonard (1732-1806), is a prime example of the Rococo style that dominated European art during the second half of the 18th century. The scene unfolds in a lush, verdant landscape, with two young women engaged in a playful moment of affection. The woman on the left, with a rosy cheek and a mischievous smile, reaches out to steal a kiss from her unsuspecting companion. The woman on the right, with a surprised expression, is captured in the midst of the unexpected gesture. The colors in this painting are rich and vibrant, with the women's dresses and the foliage around them bursting with life. The women's feminine forms are depicted with delicate grace and sensuality, reflecting the Rococo emphasis on beauty and elegance. This painting is a treasure of the State Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia. The museum, which was founded in 1764 by Catherine the Great, is home to an extensive collection of art and cultural artifacts from around the world. The museum's collection includes over three million items, making it one of the largest and most important museums in the world. Jean-Honoré Fragonard was a French painter who is known for his genre scenes, portraits, and pastels. He was a leading figure in the Rococo movement and is considered one of the greatest painters of the late 18th century. His works are characterized by their sensuality, grace, and wit, and continue to captivate audiences today.
