Rococo
In the early years of the 1700s, at the end of the reign of Louis XIV of France, there was a shift away from the classicism and “Grand Manner” that had governed the art of the preceding 50 years in France, toward a new style called Rococo. A shift away from the monarchy, toward the aristocracy characterizes the art of this period.
