The Swing painted by Jean-Honoré Fragonard.
It's perhaps one of the most recognisable paintings ever but behind its scenery and colours lies a very different meaning.Charles Collé, a courtier asked painter Gabriel Doyen to compose a painting of him with his mistress. Doyen, too shocked and disgusted by this request, passed on the appeal to Fragonard. Fragonard, known to be a man interested in silly pranks took this opportunity and made what's considered to be one of the best paintings of the Rococo era.
In the painting we see a woman swinging blissfully in a garden. On her left, lying on the ground is her lover — Collé — and on her right, pulling her swing is who is assumed to be her husband. Her lover's eyes seem to be drifting to the place between her legs (it is to be noted that wearing knickers was an uncommon practice among women during the time). Her husband, pulling the swing, symbolises him trying to get his wife "back" to him. We can see that in the garden, there are multiple statues of cupid, the god of desire and erotic love adding yet another layer to the elusive painting. Along with this, the woman on the painting holds a playful expression on her face as she throws off her shoe, this represents sensuality and the light heartedness of the relationship she holds with the courtier.
