Mystery surrounds the origins of Fragonard’s ‘The swing’, since its existence is not documented until 1782, fifteen years after it was painted. A conservation and research project undertaken at the Wallace Collection, London, has provided important new information about the painting’s early history and points to the probable identity of the man who commissioned it.
In the Burlington Contemporary Journal 10, the photographer Catherine Yass reflects on her experience of working with The Swing during the recent restoration: this article includes some super images.
