Summary:
"Taking as its subject the canvases that make up Fragonard's Progress of Love, this seventh volume in the Frick's Diptych series focuses on a jewel in the crown of the Frick's collection. Comprising four ravishing pictures commissioned by-- and for unknown reasons, ultimately rejected by--Madame Du Barry, Louis XV's last mistress, along with ten more canvases the artist painted years later"--Director's Foreword.
