Similar to y’day’s Lancret painted a series entitled “The Four Ages of Man[kind]” with lovely depictions of happy, wealthy childhood, adolescence, youth, & a less affluent old age. But as a 44yo, I’d like to know what happened to middle age?🤷‍♀️

“The Four Times of Day” by Nicolas Lancret is a series of paintings done on copper, which depict morning, midday, afternoon, and evening in 1741–or basically, a typical Saturday, right?😉

“La Servante Justifiée” illustrates a scene from Jean de La Fontaine’s popular Fables, in which a philandering husband’s pursuit of a servant is thwarted when he sees a spying neighbour. To create an alibi, he takes his wife into the garden instead.

There’s nothing like an artist with a sense of humour & a sense of the past. Here we see two versions of “The Swing:” the first by McInnes full of hedgehog whimsy, & the original by Lancret full of 18thc, French, Rococo flirting (1735) ☺️🌳
