Who knows rococo art and why it dominated the French art field in the first half of the18th century?

Rococo art is a French art style in18th century, which originated in the late Louis XIV (1643 ~ 17 15) and was popular in Louis XV (1715 ~15).

/kloc-the 0/8th century is regarded as an era of "rationality" or "enlightenment". Philosophers have changed their work, from assuming the existence of God to inferring everything from experiments and observations. They almost excluded theology from philosophy and chose the secular route, and their interest shifted from paying attention to aristocratic education to seeking frivolous enjoyment. The artistic style runs through a common theme among musicians Mozart and Haydn, writers Pope, Addison, Fourtai, painters Waldo and Consboro, combining rational and beautiful tastes with relaxed, clear and orderly materials.

Louis XIV often held various dances at Versailles Palace, torturing the nobles with tedious etiquette and meaningless duties, and then creating a leisurely environment with gorgeous court decorations, which was conducive to extramarital affairs, consuming the nobles' energy and making them have no time to plan rebellion. Therefore, artists are authorized to fabricate a happy ideal life with the sole purpose of creating a leisurely and actually lazy social happiness.

Rococo is relative to Louis XIV's magnificent classical art. This change is related to the decline of the French aristocracy, the spirit of free exploration in the Enlightenment (almost replacing religious belief) and the growing prosperity of the middle class.

Rococo was also influenced by China's art during its formation, especially in landscape design, interior design, silk products, porcelain, lacquerware and so on. (For example, China's small ceramics, German Maier, 1768). Because French art was the center of Europe at that time, the influence of Rococo art spread all over Europe.

The complicated style of Rococo art is similar to that of China in Qing Dynasty, which is a common symbol of the end of Chinese and western feudal history.
