Which artist’s painting was used as the comparison for Olivia Rodrigo’s standard album cover?

Olivia Rodrigo’s standard album cover was compared to a painting by Jean-Honoré Fragonard.

The comparison points to Fragonard’s Rococo painting The Swing. Rodrigo’s standard cover shows her upside down on a swing against a soft pink-and-blue sky, wearing a pink babydoll dress, white crew socks, and Mary Jane shoes. The resemblance comes from the swing motif and the pink dress.

This fact is distinct from the artist who created Rodrigo’s web-store picture-disc artwork. Chloe Wise painted that separate oil artwork based on a photograph by Chad Moore. Those names are connected to the album’s visual campaign, but Wise did not paint The Swing.

Sofia Coppola is another nearby visual reference because promotional imagery was compared with motifs from her film Marie Antoinette. However, Coppola is a filmmaker, not the painter associated with the standard-cover comparison. The canonical art-historical comparison is therefore Fragonard.
