A piece of Art

Hi

Today I will write you about a piece of art. Really? I'm not an art fan, I never go to exhibitions or museums, but I can talk about one painting that I like so much. The name is "The Swing", it's a oil painting by Jean Fragonard of 18th century. It's a piece of art of the age of Rococo. 
Rococo is an antique movement of art who is characterize by soft and clear colors, with forms inspired on the nature and love themes. 
"The Swing" shows a woman and two men, one can be her husband (behind her) and the other one can be her lover (front her) who is seeing her underwear, under a cupid statue.
Personally, I think I love this paint for the colors. I saw it for the first time when I was in school for a homework in the Arts subject. It's special from others painting for me because I love the pastel colors and the clothes of that age, the details are so elegant.
