1. The 18th Century had a dual character: continuation of the Baroque style and ideas called Rococo, and the beginning of the modern world.

2. Rococo is an art style for the aristocrats composed of fluffy, light, trivial, feminine works.

18th Century Art18th Century ArtThe 18th century is known in history as the Enlightenment. Musical geniuses such as Bach, Haydn, and Mozart were composing masterpieces.

RococoRococoRococo is a word that combines the French words rocaille and coquille (meaning “rock” and “shell-” formations used to decorate Baroque gardens.) That’s what it was: decorative.

The F-word. Most F-words describe Rococo art. NO, NOT THAT ONE. Fluffy, frilly, frivolous, feminine, frou frou, feathery, fancy, flamboyant, fake, flirty, and flippant.

This is art of the Continent (France, Austria), not England.
