This style of painting is called Rococo. Painted by Jean-Honore' Fragonard in 1766, this picture illustrates the evolution of painting. The image of a woman playfully and flirtatously swinging on swing would have been culturally blasphemous just a century earlier. Here, interestingly enough, Fragonard illustrates the increased freedom of expression artist gained near the end of the 18th century.
