The Warrior

"The Warrior" is a striking piece by Jean-Honore Fragonard, who is noted for his innovative approach to the traditional Portrait. This piece is a bold display of Rococo style demonstrated by Fragonard; the artist's signature movement. The Rococo style is noted for its elegance and grace, mated with a strong romantic element. Fragonard used Oil as his medium on a Canvas for "The Warrior," accentuating the intensity and drama of the soldier's expressions and adding depth to the surrounding scenery. The texture of the oil on canvas brings out the rich, lush colors and the fine details of the artwork, making the subject matter more lifelike.
