Rococo Altar
The Rococo Altar is a decorative altar style that emerged in the early 18th century, characterized by its ornate and playful designs. This artistic movement, known as Rococo, emphasizes elegance, lightness, and intricate details, often featuring curves and asymmetrical shapes. The altars are typically adorned with gilded elements, floral motifs, and elaborate sculptures, reflecting the opulence of the period.
These altars are commonly found in Catholic churches, where they serve as focal points for worship and decoration. The Rococo style aimed to create a sense of joy and celebration in religious spaces, contrasting with the more austere designs of earlier periods.
