Painting of the French artist Jean Honore Fragonard “Portrait of Denis Diderot”. The size of the portrait is 82 x 65 cm, canvas, oil. If one had ever wanted to compare Fragonard and Gainsborough, they would have become rivals who contested the title of the most direct artist of the eighteenth century. At the end of the XVIII century, from all the properties of a creative personality, this quality has probably acquired the greatest importance.
If the artist follows the notorious libido or demonstrates coprofoil perception of colorful matter, then all the performance imperfections of the viewer should be considered already insignificant. So Denis Diderot pointed out the defect of Fragonard, not suspecting that later this would be considered his dignity. Painter Fragonard, according to Diderot, had as much passion as anyone could wish for, but he never brought his paintings to full completion and thus fell into the sketch.
