Characteristics of Rococo

1. baroque diagonals replaced by rococo circles and curves, very organic
2. point of view is usually the viewer looking down on a scene 3. light is graceful and delicate (no stark contrasts like with baroque) 4. the subject matter is usually upper class pleasures (aristocratic style) Subjects include: upper class pleasures of love, angels, gardens and dances 5. Rococo is not limited to painting, it is a decorative style that includes furniture, rugs, ceilings, architecture, etc. 6.

Eventually this style will be seen as self-serving and immoral (especially in light of the French Revolution) even critics during its flourishing thought it was a bit decadent |
