Fragonard: The Grand Cascade at Tivoli


Here is our artist study for this week:

The Grand Cascade at Tivoli By Fragonard

 

Amanda: I saw a waterfall in the background. There was a bridge over a river. There were people on a balcony with a clothesline and people washing clothes on a table and in the river. There were a whole bunch of trees surrounding the area.

Miles: I saw a waterfall in the background and a whole bunch of trees. And a bridge and a tower with people on it. And under the tower there was people washing clothes.

Hannah:  On the ground were some people and they had pitchers of water in their hands. And above the people there were people on top of a building. In the background there were a bunch of pretty clouds and they were orangish-yellowish and blue. And then there was a bridge and behind the bridge was a waterfall. Underneath the bridge and kind of on the bridge there were a bunch of cloud-shaped rocks. And it was a really pretty picture.

Emily: There was a bridge that was built off of a cliff. Trees were growing out of the cliff and lots of plants too. Then behind the bridge you could see a waterfall, above which there were clouds.There was an old house next to the bridge. Beneath the bridge was a cave. Below the bridge was a stone platform, on which there were people. In the bottom left corner there were a couple of steps. It was by Jean-Honore Fragonard.
