The Rococo Style (1715-1780s)

Background Begun as a French style of interior decoration during the period that followed Louis XIV’s death. Régence Style (1715-1723) Versailles society was in a temporary eclipse. French power and fashion centered around the court of the Regent, Philippe d’Orleáns at the Palais-Royal in Paris.

Background Derived from the French word, rocaille, or “rock-work.” The ‘softer side’ of the Baroque [or a reaction against it]. A backlash to the darkness of the Baroque  less formal & grandiose. Eventually replaced by Neo-Classicism, the artistic style of the American and French Revolutions.

Artistic Style Light, elaborate, decorative. The Rococo palette, softer and paler [pastels] than the rich primary colors and dark tonalities of the Baroque style. Ornate and fussy details.
