Rococo painting

Jean-Honoré Fragonard: The swing, 1766
Master Ataíde: Ascension of Jesus, 1827

Rococo painting shows the expression in painting of an aesthetic movement that became popular in Europe between the early and late 18th century, migrating to America and surviving in some parts until the mid-19th century.

Rococo was born in Paris around the 1700s, as a reaction of the French aristocracy against the Baroque practiced in the period of Louis XIV.[1][2][3]
