Detailed Description
Rococo art is a style of art that emerged in the early 18th century in France. It is characterized by its ornate, decorative style and its focus on light and pastel colors. Rococo art is often associated with the French court of the 18th century, and its most famous practitioners include the painters FranÃÂçois Boucher and Jean-Antoine Watteau. Rococo art reached its peak in the 1730s, but began to decline in popularity in the latter part of the 18th century. Many of its characteristic features, such as its ornate style and light colors, were rejected by the art movements that followed it, such as Neoclassicism. However, Rococo art has seen a resurgence in popularity in recent years, and its influence can be seen in the work of contemporary artists such as Damien Hirst and Jeff Koons.
