  19. Rococo Architecture and Design Intended to convey wealth Especially popular in Catholic countries Louis XIII, Louis XIV of France Word Rococo is derivative of the French term rocaille, which means “rock and shell garden ornamentation”.

  20. What does it look like? Move away from symmetry to more fluid designs Very elaborate and “gaudy” Quote: “Rococo was a lifestyle. An opulent, playful embrace of ornate furniture and sculpture, ornamental mirrors, and florid tapestry and architecture. 18th century swag.”

  28. So, what is the catalyst here? Effort to popularize religion == more dramatic scenes Absolutist rulers and great difference in wealth between rich and poor == status-conscious art Developments in Renaissance == artists still looking to perfect their interpretation of “reality”
