Meeting by Jean Honore Fragonard

This is one of four paintings commissioned by Fragonard Madame Du Barry, the mistress of King Louis XV who wished to decorate the garden pavilion built for her by Claude Nicola Ledo at her country estate Louveciennes near Paris.

It is difficult to say when exactly this order was made, but we absolutely know that Fragonard worked on it, starting in 1771, and by 1773 had already finished all four paintings. In the pavilion they were not for long. Renovating Madame Du Barry returned the paintings to the artist, replacing them with the works of Joseph Marie Vian.

This act of the mistress of the king is probably due to the fact that the pictures did not fit well with the general appearance of the estate, built in neoclassical style. This style was more in keeping with the manner of the neoclassicist Vian.
