Honoré Fragonard

His pieces were often prepared for theatrical effect rather than scientific exhibition, as can be seen in the surviving pieces in the Musée Fragonard d'Alfort.

In 1765 Louis XV initiated a veterinary school in Paris, first resident at rue Sainte Appoline but in 1766 moving to the suburb of Alfort (today the École nationale vétérinaire d'Alfort in Maisons-Alfort).

Jean-Honoré Fragonard

In the year preceding his departure he painted the "Christ washing the Feet of the Apostles" now at Grasse Cathedral.

In August 2013 it was announced that his portrait of François-Henri duc d'Harcourt was to be auctioned, by the Bonhams auction house in London, on 5 December.

He also learned to admire the masters of the Dutch and Flemish schools (Rubens, Hals, Rembrandt, Ruisdael), imitating their loose and vigorous brushstrokes.
