'The Progress of Love' is an exceptional example of the late Rococo style, reflecting the remarkable facility, exuberance, and hedonism that distinguishes the work of Jean-Honoré Fragonard, a prolific French painter and printmaker of the Ancien Régime. This piece is an exemplar of genre painting and effectively conveys an intimate atmosphere steeped in veiled eroticism. It's amongst Fragonard's most popular works, a testament to his extensive oeuvre of over 550 paintings.
