Rococo

Rococo is an 18th-century artistic style characterized by elegance, lightness, and ornate details. It emerged in France as a reaction against the grandeur of Baroque, emphasizing playful themes, delicate curves, pastel colors, and intricate decorations. Common in paintings, furniture, and architecture, Rococo creates a sense of charm and intimacy, often depicting aristocratic life and romantic scenes. Its focus on grace and decorative richness aimed to evoke delight and elegance, making it popular among European nobility during that period.
