Rococo Art
Rococo Art emerged in the early 18th century in France as a reaction against the grandeur of Baroque Art. Characterized by its ornate details, light colors, and playful themes, Rococo often depicted scenes of leisure, romance, and nature. Artists like Antoine Watteau and François Boucher embraced these elements, creating works that emphasized elegance and charm.
The style spread across Europe, influencing architecture, interior design, and decorative arts. Rococo interiors featured intricate moldings, mirrors, and pastel colors, creating a sense of intimacy and comfort. This movement gradually declined by the late 18th century, giving way to the more serious and structured Neoclassicism.
