Blind Man's Bluff (Fragonard)
Encyclopedia
Blind man's bluff is a painting by the French Roccoco painter Jean Honoré Fragonard, produced around 1769 in oil on canvas. It is full of deceptions - the girl is looking out from under her blindfold and the game seems to be a pretext leading to seduction; the two figures are in pastoral costume, but may be noble or bourgeois figures playing at being pastoral figures; the background seems to be a wood but could be a stage set. In short, it seems to abolish the boundary between truth and lies, reality and fiction.
