Jean-Honoré Fragonard is one of the major French artists of the 18th century, and he also influenced the graphic arts, particularly perfumery. This exhibition brings together rare drawings from the Louvre's Department of Graphic Arts, in dialogue with the Grasse collections of the Villa-Musée Fragonard. It also showcases fascinating works from the artist's artistic circle: his son Alexandre-Évariste, his wife Marie-Anne Gérard, and his niece Marguerite Gérard. "In Grasse, the cradle of the family, these exceptional drawings 'return to their roots' to shed new light on the unique trajectory of this dynasty of artists," says Laurence des Cars, president of the Louvre Museum.
