Description: Created between the 16th and 19th centuries, and ranging from mythological and biblical studies to more playful imagery, the 80 works included in the exhibition vary in terms of style, genre, and period. Captured in crisp and swift pen strokes, finely modulated chalk, or brilliant colors, these captivating compositions were produced by some of the most prominent artists of their time, such as Charles Le Brun (1619 ? 1690), Charles-Nicolas Cochin, the younger (1715 ? 1790), and Jean-Honoré Fragonard (1732 ? 1806). 00Exhibition: Cummer Museum, Jacksonville, USA (25.05.-29.07.2018) / Ringling Museum of Art, Sarasota, USA (09.09.-02.12.2018).
