Rococo

Posted by Wohnreich on


















We are in the 18th century. The heavy, ostentatious style of the Baroque gave way to a graceful and cheerful decorative art, the Rococo, or in some circles also called the Late Baroque. Asymmetry and irregularity are typical of this era. Instead of imposing facade decoration, there is increasing emphasis on luxurious interior design. Life at court becomes more cultivated and sensual. In painting, private and even erotic images appear more frequently. The men wear wigs, with their hair tied back at the nape of the neck. The women wear hoop skirts and high hairstyles. Their faces and décolleté are powdered white.
With the modern mirror from Rice you can conjure up old-fashioned flair in the present day, all you need is some powder.
