Description:
Introduction to the evolving artistic styles in 18th century France and Italy, during which time the "taste for rococo -- intimate and charming subjects painted in pastel colors -- gave way by mid-century to the simpler, more restrained forms of neoclassical art." Includes annotated images of works by artists such as François Boucher, Jean-Honoré Fragonard, and Antoine Watteau. From the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. |
