Rococo
Rococo is an early to late French 18th-century
artistic movement and style. Its influence was
strongly felt in such areas as silverwork, porcelain,
and silks.
Wyatt Lira
Its origins lie in the late Baroque architectural work of Francesco
Borromini.
By the end of the 18th century, Rococo was largely replaced by
the Neoclassic style.

Rococo style developed first in the
decorative arts and interior design, and
its influence later spread to architecture,
sculpture, theater design, painting, and
music. Rococo style is characterized by
elaborate ornamentation, asymmetrical
values, pastel color palette, and curved
or serpentine lines.
