Discover the world of Rococo, the graceful and decorative art style that flourished in 18th-century France during the reign of Louis XV.
Emerging from the grandeur of the Baroque era, Rococo embraced pastel colours, flowing curves, delicate ornamentation and scenes of romance, leisure and fantasy. From luxurious salons and elegant interiors to the paintings of Watteau, Boucher and Fragonard, this movement celebrated beauty, refinement and the pleasures of aristocratic life.
