作者簡介
弗拉戈納爾(Jean Honore Fragonard,1732—1806),法國洛可可風格畫家。1732年4月5日生於格拉斯,1806年8月22日卒於巴黎。弗拉戈納爾的作品風格多變,色彩華麗,充滿色情意味。晚年時因繪畫風格不合時尚逐漸沒落。他的代表作品之一《鞦韆》,巧妙地運用明暗的變化,以纖細的筆致,描繪出庭院和樹林的美,非常精巧。它的纖細的線條,有種類乎病態的魅惑,色彩也淡雅。
作品賞析
The Stolen Kiss explores the theme of secretive romance and passionate moments grabbed in a fleeting moment. The painting captures a perfectly frozen moment in time; two lovers caught by the spectator in the act of stealing a furtive kiss while no-one else is looking.
The young maiden is coquettish, leaning in for the kiss while at the same time looking away back towards the other members of the party in the next room over.
The action is stilted, the figures posed in what almost seems to be a caricature of a passionate embrace. In keeping with the frivolity of Rococo style, the young lady's dress is painted with extraordinary attention to detail. The decoration and fashion becomes almost a third character in the scene.
This type of semi-erotic theme was quite popular in the heady days before the French Revolution, particularly with the French aristocracy who slouched fashionably around the halls of Versailles digging up romantic follies and gossip fodder of their own. Fragonard was the favored genius of this genre.
One can almost see in the sly look of the maiden's eyes the knowledge of the coming storm, knowing that the decadence couldn't last; and in this way The Stolen Kiss stands as a historical artifact, transcending the bounds of mere genre eroticism.
