In 2019, we launched a ground-breaking conservation and research project focused around the Wallace Collections eight masterpieces by Jean-Honoré Fragonard. The Wallace Collection is fortunate to own eight exquisite works by Fragonard, one of the most popular artists of the eighteenth century. This ensemble is crucial to the identity of the museum, yet they have not been studied in depth.

Led by Dr Yuriko Jackall, Curator of French Paintings at the Wallace Collection, Fixing Fragonard aims to address these gaps in our knowledge. Five paintings whose once-sparkling surfaces are now obscured by heavy layers of yellowed varnish will be cleaned and conserved. Sophisticated research will provide a deeper understanding of Fragonards technique in order to shed new light upon his evolution as an artist.

Please donate to the project and help us fixing our Fragonard paintings and discover more about the master's process and evolution as an artist. You will be kept up to date with the progress of the project and conservation.
