The Rococo style, which reached its peak in the middle of the XNUMXth century, remains a symbol of luxury and excess to this day. The book by art historian Sergei Daniel allows you to pick up the key to the works of the great masters of this style — Watteau, Boucher, Fragonard — and see the deep meanings that the artsy form hides. Focusing on the fine arts, the author at the same time makes excursions into the field of architecture, theatre, literature and music, and also demonstrates how the echoes of the Rococo fashion were refracted in the art of other countries.
