Fragonard Room @ Frick Museum

I revisited Frick Museum recently, and still found Fraganord's work mesmerizing and captivating.

Few works testify more powerfully to the elegance, sensuousness and delicate beauty of that lost world than “The Progress of Love,” the panels created by Jean-Honoré Fragonard for Mme du Barry, the last mistress of Louis XV.

The Pursuit

The Meeting

The Love Letters

The Lover Crowned

Fragonard’s “The Progress of Love”  shipped from France to London and the owner was JP Morgan. After Mr. Morgan died and the panels was first displayed at the Metropolitan Museum in 1914; Henry Clay Frick showed great interest and he bought it for $1.2 Millions and moved the panels to NYC for his new home at 5^th Avenue and 70^th street.

This would be a perfect room for afternoon tea ...

sipping tea and eating cakes

listening to classic music

and gazing out the windows into the garden ...
