Giclée (pronounced 'zhee-clay') is a French term meaning 'to spray,' referring to how ink is precisely sprayed onto canvas or paper, creating incredibly detailed fine art prints. It’s the gold standard in museum-quality printing, loved by artists, galleries, and museums worldwide.

Your artwork will be printed on premium canvas using vibrant archival inks, faithfully capturing every brushstroke and subtle nuance of Fragonard's original. To ensure lasting beauty, each print is finished with a protective UV varnish. Far superior to ordinary posters, your canvas print will look and feel like a real painting, retaining its vivid colors and pristine details for more than 100 years.

About Giclée Fine Art Printing

Here's a simple trick: use painter’s tape to mark the print size directly on your wall, and step back to see how it feels. Generally, larger sizes around 36 in wide work beautifully in living rooms or open spaces. Medium sizes around 24 in fit nicely in bedrooms, hallways, or offices. Hanging it above a sofa? Choose a print that's roughly two-thirds the width of your couch. Still unsure? Start with our popular 21.7 × 16.8 in size—it fits comfortably in most spaces!

For a more artistic approach: choosing a size closer to the original artwork ensures you experience the artist’s intended visual impact and authenticity. Of course, since most of us don't live in spacious baroque palaces, your available space and personal taste should ultimately guide your decision.

In many cases, yes! If you need a specific size to fit a particular space or frame, feel free to reach out—we're happy to see what’s possible. Because each print is made to order, we can often accommodate custom dimensions as long as they respect the proportions of the original painting.Just send us an email at info@topartprint.com with the title of the artwork and the size you're looking for. We’ll get back to you quickly with options and pricing.

Good to know: when you choose the size of your artwork, the Print Size shown in the Your Selection box refers to the actual image area—that’s the part you’ll see once the canvas is stretched or framed.

The Total Size includes an additional 1.2 in white border on each side, added specifically for stretching.
So yes—this white border is added on top of your selected print size. You get the full artwork at the dimensions you picked, plus extra canvas to make stretching smooth and professional.

For example, if you select a 21.7 × 16.8 in print, the full canvas you receive will measure 24.0 × 19.1 in—giving your framer plenty of room to create a clean, gallery-quality stretch.

Both options are wonderful choices! Going unframed gives you maximum flexibility—you can take your print to a local framing shop for personalized options and expert advice tailored to your décor. This is especially great if you have specific design ideas or want to match existing frames in your home.

However, keep in mind that a print truly comes to life when properly framed. Art professionals often say: 'The frame contributes 30% of the artwork’s overall impact.' A well-chosen frame elevates and completes your print.

If you choose our framing option, your print will arrive professionally framed and ready to hang right out of the box. We focus exclusively on traditional framing methods, ensuring every artwork receives the respectful presentation it deserves—this is why we don't offer gallery wrap options.

Important shipping note: Due to courier restrictions, we can ship framed prints up to 28 in on the longest side. Larger prints will arrive safely rolled in a tube, ready for you to frame locally.

For more detailed information, please see our complete guide to fine art framing methods.

We've carefully selected this premium canvas because it brings out the absolute best in Fragonard's work. Made from natural cotton with a 400 g/m² weight, it has just the right texture to capture every brushstroke and detail of the original painting.

What makes our canvas special? The satin-gloss finish. Think of how paintings look in museums with that beautiful varnish—that's exactly the effect we're going for. This glossy surface makes colors pop with incredible vibrancy while giving deep, rich blacks that matte canvases simply can't achieve. The result? Your print has that authentic 'real painting' look with extraordinary depth and life.

Plus, our canvas is acid-free and pH-neutral, so it'll stay beautiful for generations. We believe The Swing deserves nothing less than this museum-quality treatment.

Every print is made just for you—no mass production here! Once you place your order, we begin creating your The Swing print with care and precision.

About the Painting

In this theatrical tableau, a young woman in voluminous pink silk soars through dappled air, her shoe flying from her extended foot in a gesture of calculated abandon. Below, partially concealed in verdant shadows, a gentleman gazes upward with undisguised appreciation, while behind, an older man provides the swing's momentum, his presence both essential and deliberately obscured. A small spaniel yaps at the spectacle, and to the left, Falconet's sculpture of Cupid holds a cautionary finger to his lips, transforming the garden into a stage for sophisticated libertinage.
Fragonard orchestrates his palette with remarkable subtlety. The rose and coral tones of the woman's dress create a luminous focal point against the blue-green atmospheric depths of the garden. This interplay between warm flesh tones and cool vegetation generates an almost palpable humidity, while touches of golden light filtering through the canopy suggest both temporal specificity and emotional temperature. The artist employs color not merely decoratively but as narrative device—the brightness of exposed skin and silk against the mysterious depths of foliage mirrors the painting's thematic tensions between revelation and concealment.
The brushwork demonstrates Fragonard's complete technical mastery, combining the fluid, broken touches of his Rococo predecessors with a more vigorous, almost improvisational energy. The foliage emerges through layers of scumbled paint, creating a sense of vegetative abundance that threatens to overwhelm the human drama. The woman's dress, by contrast, is rendered with swift, confident strokes that capture both the material weight of silk and its momentary defiance of gravity. This technical virtuosity serves the painting's erotic charge—every surface seems animated by an almost tactile sensuality.
The composition operates through carefully orchestrated diagonals and curves. The swing's ropes create strong vectors that intersect with the woman's extended leg and thrown shoe, establishing a dynamic geometry that keeps the eye in constant motion. The placement of the three figures forms a triangle of desire and complicity, while the Cupid statue provides both compositional balance and ironic commentary. Fragonard positions the viewer as an additional voyeur, implicated in the scene's knowing impropriety.
This commission marked a pivotal moment in Fragonard's career, as he abandoned prestigious history painting for the more intimate world of cabinet pictures. His deliberate adoption of Rococo vocabulary for this erotic subject fundamentally altered the style's cultural associations, linking it permanently with aristocratic pleasure and sexual intrigue. The painting thus operates simultaneously as private fantasy and public statement, encoding its patron's desires within a visual language that speaks to broader shifts in eighteenth-century sensibility.
