# Landscape with a Youth by a Pond [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [FRAGONARD, Jean-Honoré]() - Date: 1751-1800 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 24 x 33 cm ## Commentary Although Jean Honoré Fragonard is famous as a painter of amorous genre subjects and mythological scenes, the landscape was equally significant in his oeuvre. Having developed the practice of drawing directly from nature in Italy, it is likely that Fragonard would have based the present painting, executed after his return to Paris, on a drawing made en plein air. ## Related artworks - [A Boy as Pierrot]() - [A Game of Horse and Rider]() - [A Game of Hot Cockles]() - [A Young Girl Reading]() - [A Young Girl Sleeping]() - [A Young Scholar]() - [Abbé de Saint-Non \(Fanciful Figure\)]() - [Adoration of the Shepherds]() - [Blindman's Buff \(detail\)]() - [Blindman's Buff]() - [Coresus Sacrificing himself to Save Callirhoe]() - [Cypresses in the Garden Avenue of the Villa]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
