What makes a painting Rococo?
1 Answer
Rococo paintings are typically characterized by soft hues and curving lines. The Rococo style in art drew on qualities that appeared during the Baroque era and it emerged in early 18th-century Paris. The imagery associated with Rococo paintings is lighthearted, and painters working in this style depicted highly detailed images of love and nature, frequently blending reality and fantasy.
