Education is All 1780

"Education is All" (1780) by Jean-Honoré Fragonard depicts a group of children gathered around a wise old man, likely a teacher, who holds a lamb in his arms. This charming scene from the Rococo era evokes the importance of education, specifically for the youth. The painting's soft colors and loose brushstrokes create a sense of warmth and intimacy, reflecting the artist's penchant for capturing everyday moments with a touch of whimsicality. Fragonard's masterful use of light and shadow further adds to the charm of this iconic work.
