The Progress of Love (French: Les progrès de l'amour) is a series of four paintings created by Jean-Honoré Fragonard in the years 1771-1772. The paintings were commissioned in 1771 by Madame du Barry for the Château de Louveciennes. The Progress of Love comprises the following works: The Pursuit; The Meeting; The Lover Crowned; and Love Letters. All four paintings are currently in the Frick Collection.
Overview[edit]
The series of paintings depicts the stages of a romantic relationship as two lovers meet, declare their love, and reminisce.
Fragonard designed these paintings to be displayed in a horseshoe-shaped salon in the Château de Louveciennes. Over time, they have changed locations several times.
