Rare Brooch Fragonard Courting Couple Hand Painted Ceramic Made in Germany
Measurements: 3" diameter
Historical background:
The terms Fragonard Courting Couple or Fragonard Love Story refer to a motif inspired by the work of the French artist, Jean Honoré Fragonard (1732-1806). Fragonard, born in Grasse, on the now French Riviera, was a painter and printmaker from the Rococo (Rococo or Late Baroque) movement and later Neoclassical style. During his youth and study time, he toured Italy and was very taken and impressed by his surroundings. There he came across romantic gardens and pastures, with grottos, terraces, fountains and temples, which were a great inspiration to him. His works featured pastoral landscapes and romantic scenes of love with even cupids, cherubs and the odd mythical creature, just like his fellow Rococo painters. Their creations also involved portraiture, depicting aristocratic courting couples on leisurely outings or at secret meetings.
