How to distinguish Rococo style from Baroque style?
Rococo style is a kind of court art, which was produced by some factors that did not strictly follow the French classical laws at that time, and was not the inevitable result of Italian Baroque style. It follows the theory of "learning from nature". People are talking about "learning from nature", but from a modern point of view, their so-called learning from nature only makes nature obey the whim of society, and this society is not fully prepared, so that people can truly feel that they live in nature, full of mystery and preparations for letting life slip by. At this time, artists were obedient to the nobility, and at the same time, the nobility asked them to do whatever they wanted. This invention of the French made the church center really turn to the salon center. At this time, the salon is different from the past. All kinds of art exhibitions are called "salons". Painters, sculptors, woodcarvers, copperprinters, jewelers, goldsmiths, joiners, hairdressers, tailors and shoemakers all long for rococo, a beautiful flower that blooms on the basis of exquisite and elegant culture. In every corner, around talkative men and lovely women, from wooden products, crystal utensils, cakes, marble and carpets to display cabinets and tableware inside, from carriages to sedan chairs, from front halls to bedrooms, Rococo style is everywhere. This is the art of high society, which abuses and sucks the attention of artists and distracts them with stolen love and transplanted flowers. Although this climbing structure radiates brilliant brilliance, it is imprisoned around elegant culture and gradually alienated from its natural source. Regrettably, this winding curve limits the freedom of decorators to achieve all-round development in space and always leads them to the track of social activities and services that people can't get rid of. This decorative art came out to meet this need, and it became a prisoner of princes and nobles. It has the following characteristics: ↓

1, luxurious and chic

In the18th century when rococo culture was prevalent, elegance and chic became the common pursuit of the French. Rococo pursues overwhelming details, gorgeous and exquisite decoration and luxurious and beautiful environment.

2, the main color is bright

Unlike Baroque style, which emphasizes the contrast between light and shade, Rococo style can be said to be the most distinctive among many styles in color matching, with light tones such as mint green, pink and rose red as the main colors. Rococo style makes good use of gold and ivory white, which is ubiquitous in furniture decoration, whether it is cabinets, tables and chairs, mirrors, walls, and Phnom Penh feet.

3. Soft arcs are used for lines.

In Rococo-style design, you can hardly see tough lines. Rococo-style furniture is famous for its asymmetrical light and slender curves, and most of them use arcs and "C", "S" or scroll-shaped curves, which coincides with the characteristics of Rococo style that a large number of natural elements such as shells, bouquets and garlands are used.

There are many small details in the furniture.

Rococo prevailed in the heyday of French salon culture centered on women, which made Rococo furniture more miniaturized and feminine. Flower-shaped candlesticks, gold-inlaid copper ornaments, small tables, single person sofa, you can't finish reading many details.

5. Integration of oriental elements

Rococo decorative art has learned a lot from China's decorative style. The French draw inspiration from China's extremely soft curves, porcelain, tables and chairs, cabinets and other shapes, and can capture subtle oriental elegance in classic rococo elements such as ceramics, flower and bird patterns, sectors and assembly lines.

"Baroque" is a European artistic style, which refers to the main artistic style popular in Europe from1the beginning of the 7th century to1the first half of the 8th century.
