Today we began our discussion of the Rococo period, starting with a look at the “Hôtel Particulier,” the place of living for the nobility in Paris. These rooms signified the change in focus by architects from facade to interior, which was a large change from the works of previous periods. Instead of focusing on the view of others, the architects started to focus on the decor for the owners, allowing them to have a more pleasant sight in each room. We looked at the works of several Rococo painters, which highlighted their interesting choices in color and elements, showing a focus on the subject of the painting, not the extra additions. The Rococo is an interesting period of art, and its deviation from the norm is striking in the choices of the artists.
