Nicolas Delaunay; Jean Honoré Fragonard

Nicolas Delaunay and Jean Honoré Fragonard were printmakers active during the late 18th century, collaborating specifically between the years 1777 and 1791. Their documented output primarily consists of etchings and engravings based on sentimental or allegorical themes popular in the era.

Fifteen of their collaborative prints are represented in major museum collections, establishing their contribution to graphic art of the period. These museum-quality works are notably held in the collection of the National Gallery of Art.

The subjects they addressed include domestic bliss and allegorical scenes, exemplified by the frequently recurring print L'heureuse fécondité. Other specific works documented in institutional holdings include Les Voeux acceptees and La Bonne Mère. As the vast majority of their output predates the modern era, many of their high-quality prints are now within the public domain, making downloadable artwork widely accessible for study.
