Rococo, also known as Roccoco or Late Baroque, is an uniquely ornamental and theatrical style of architecture, art and decoration that combines asymmetry, scrolling curves, gilding, whitish and pastel colors, carved moldings and trompe l'oeil frescoes to create the illusion of movement and drama. It is often described as the final expression of the Baroque movement. The Rococo style originated in France in the 1730s as a reactionary movement to the more formal and geometric Louis XIV style. It was known as the "Rocaille style".
Rocaille was originally a method of decoration, using pebbles, shells and cement, which was often used to decorate grottoes and fountains since the Renaissance period. In the late 17th and early 18th centuries, rocaille became the term for a type of decorative pattern or ornament that appeared in the late Louis XIV style, in the form of a shell interlaced with acanthus leaves. In 1736, the designer and jeweler Jean Mondon published the Premier Livre de forme rocaille et cartel, a collection of designs for furniture ornaments and interior decoration. The carved or molded shell motif was combined with palm leaves or twisted vines to decorate doors, furniture, wall panels and other architectural elements. It quickly spread to other parts of Europe, including northern Italy, Austria, southern Germany, central Europe and Russia.
As an artistic movement, it also influenced other arts, including sculpture, furniture, silverware, glassware, painting, music and theater. Unlike the Baroque style, Rococo contains the partial abandonment of symmetry, everything being composed of graceful lines and curves, as in Art Nouveau.
