Rococo According to Stokstad, Rococo is refined, fanciful, and often playful (939). Rococo is characterized by pastel colors, delicately curving forms, dainty figures and a light-hearted mood. Rococo appeared in France around 1700, primarily as a style of interior design as the French court moved from Versailles back to Paris and all the rich courtiers (think entourage but incredibly wealthy) redecorated their hotels (mansions) in the latest style of the moment. Paintings on canvas were used to decorate the walls.
Rococo According to Gardner, Rococo appeared in France around 1700, primarily as a style of interior design (780). Shells and shell forms are the principal motifs in Rococo ornament. Expect irregular painted shapes surmounted by sculpture (imagine a painted surface with a white, sculpted putto on top). Painting, architecture, and sculpture will combine to form a single ensemble, (see Francois de Cuvillies, Hall of Mirrors, the Amalienburg, Nymphenburg Palace park, Munich Germany, early 18th century). Expect soft colors; themes of love and happy scenes in outdoor settings.
