Rococo

Rococo (means shell) is the latter phase of Baroque art and is characterized by the use of curvilinear ornament and was a more playful decoration in response to the need for interior design for private living as opposed to state sponsored building activity. Rococo is an aristocratic style, conveying a love of elegance in both style and subject matter as seen in the work of French painter Fragonard. His paintings are sensual and spontaneous with a shift away from the emotional (The Musical Contest).
