Course Description: This course familiarizes students with the art and architecture of Europe between approximately 1700 and 1770, a rich and complex era that falls under one of art history's most troubled stylistic designations: rococo. Condemned during the eighteenth century and since as degenerate, frivolous, ornamental, and feminine, rococo art has recently undergone a serious reevaluation. Rococo art challenges commonplace assumptions about value, quality, decoration, status, gendering, and even the ultimate purpose of art. The course shall examine paintings by renowned artists like Watteau, Boucher, and Hogarth; the interior decoration of elite palaces and churches; and luxury objects made of porcelain, silver, and precious wood.
