2. Historical development: Rococo first appeared in decorative arts and interior design. Louis XV ascended the throne, which brought changes to court artists and general artistic fashion. In the later period of the old king's rule, Baroque design was gradually replaced by more curves and lighter elements of natural images. These elements are obvious in the architectural design of Nicholas Pi Nuo. During the regency period (17 15- 1723, Louis XV was a child and his uncle was the regent), court life was no longer confined to Versailles, and the artistic style changed accordingly, first to the court, and then to the whole upper class of France. The slender and brisk Rococo style design is considered to be accompanied by the excessive rule of Louis XV.
3. Rococo style also extends from pure decorative art in architectural design to painting. Rococo painters choose light and bright colors and exquisite curve composition, and like to decorate the atmosphere in the painting with angels and love myths, making the picture beautiful and mysterious. Rococo style is very detailed in portraits; The people in the painting are no longer gods, saints or knights, but courtiers, nobles and so on. The colors are delicate and elegant, and the characters are slender. Some portraits also show that aesthetics began to deviate from the ideological direction of religion and country at that time; Instead of showing the dignity and sacredness of the characters, they began to show a little impure and immoral. Rococo's landscapes are idyllic, and most men and women who describe nobles travel leisurely.
