Rococo, also known as Late Baroque, is an exceptionally ornamental and dramatic style of architecture, art and decoration which combines asymmetry, scrolling curves, gilding, white and pastel colored, sculpted moulding, and troupe-l'œil frescos to create surprise and illusion of motion and drama. It is often describes as the final expression of the Baroque movement. The Rococo style began in France in the 1730s as a reaction against the more formal and geometric Louis XIV style. This is a book covering Rococo styles and architecture in Versaille during the reign of Louis XV. FORN-MSB-0923-0696-HK678
