''The Swing'' (French: ''L'Escarpolette''), also known as ''The Happy Accidents of the Swing'' (French: ''Les Hasards heureux de l'escarpolette''), is a renowned 18th-century oil painting by French artist Jean-Honoré Fragonard (1732–1806). Completed in 1767, it is considered one of the masterpieces of the Rococo era and a quintessential example of the frivolity and eroticism that characterized the period.

The painting depicts a young woman on a swing, set against the lush backdrop of a romanticized garden. She is being pushed by an older man, who is likely unaware of the young man hidden in the foliage. As the woman swings high, she kicks off her shoe, while the hidden suitor gets a clandestine glimpse up her skirt. This risqué narrative, filled with playful sensuality and flirtation, encapsulates the spirit of the Rococo movement.

Fragonard's use of vibrant colors, dynamic composition, and the soft, dappled light that filters through the trees contributes to the painting's sense of movement and gaiety. The Swing is celebrated for its elaborate portrayal of the garden, the sumptuous fabrics, and the intricate details that bring the scene to life.

Commissioned by the notorious French libertine Baron de Saint-Julien as a portrait of his mistress, the painting was originally intended to feature the Baron himself pushing the swing. However, Fragonard chose to depict a bishop in his place, adding another layer of scandal and humor to the work.

Today, ''The Swing'' is housed in the Wallace Collection in London and remains an iconic image of Rococo art, often referenced and parodied in various forms of media. Its influence extends beyond the world of art, as it continues to capture the imagination with its playful and suggestive narrative.
