From Rococo to Revolution: Art, Music, and Literature

The best word to describe the art and architecture of this time is froo-froo.  Everything was very feminine and delicate.  The colors used in art were pastels and the theme was usually love.  Architecture was very gaudy.  Here are some examples.
Watteau
Boucher
Carriera
Fragonard

The most famous literature this time was written by the philosophers mentioned in the previous post.

The music of this time is categorized into the Baroque and Classical eras.  Interestingly enough, there is no music said to be from the Rococo era.

So there you have it.  A short blog post, but the main point was this: froo froo.
