- 12.1: The Rococo and Neoclassicism
- This page covers the transition from Rococo to Neoclassicism in 18th century Europe. Rococo, marked by ornate details and playful themes, served aristocratic social life until its decline around the 1750s. Neoclassicism emerged as a reaction, emphasizing simplicity, symmetry, and moral themes, inspired by classical antiquity and Enlightenment ideals. Key figures include Jacques-Louis David in painting and Jean-Antoine Houdon in sculpture.
