It is characterized by extensive ornamentation, fluid curves, asymmetry, and a smaller scale designed to foster intimacy. It employs rocaille, the shell and pebble motifs that gave the style its name, and often blends white and pastel colors with gilding and sculpted molding, using trompe l'oeil frescoes to create spatial illusion. In the visual arts the prevalent themes are aristocratic leisure and the pastoral, depicted in stage-like settings. Rococo art is often regarded as the final expression of the movement before it and is sometimes called Late Baroque.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a painting that means a European style built for a room rather than for a church: smaller canvases, lighter colors, a park or an interior instead of a martyrdom, and a subject closer to love and leisure than to historical duty. Rococo art is decorative work in the most literal sense, made to be seen at home, on a wall a few steps away, at the same time as the furniture and the panelling it was designed with. The style was popular first in France and then across Europe and its colonies until about 1780, and it reached Italy, England, Sweden and Russia in its own local versions, each time inspired by the French design and each time a little plainer. What you see in the work here is that sense of a stage set: figures arranged in a garden as if a curtain had just gone up, and a view that keeps opening behind them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFamous Rococo painting painters\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFive painters of the Rococo period, each with a collection here.
