Louis XV Style
The Louis XV Style, also known as Rococo, emerged in France during the reign of King Louis XV from 1715 to 1774. This artistic movement is characterized by its ornate and playful designs, featuring curves, asymmetry, and intricate details. Furniture and decor often included floral motifs, shells, and gilded elements, reflecting a sense of elegance and luxury.
In architecture, the Louis XV Style emphasized lightness and grace, with elaborate interiors that showcased craftsmanship. Notable examples include the Palace of Versailles and the Hotel de Ville in Paris. This style marked a shift from the grandeur of Baroque to a more intimate and decorative approach in art and design.
