18th century
Rococo architecture
Rococo is the light, intimate elegance of the 18th century: asymmetric curves, a pastel palette and refined ornament. Airier than Baroque, it favors charm, grace and delicate detail.
Style signatures
- Asymmetric curves and arabesques
- Pastel palette (pink, pale blue, cream)
- Fine gilding, delicate stucco, mirrors
- Floral motifs, shells, rocaille
- Intimate, luminous mood
How to render this style
Rococo is bright and delicate: a soft, abundant light, pastels and fine gold make the mood. Aim for grace, not power.
Render tips
- Ask for a 'pastel palette' and 'fine gilding'
- A soft, luminous light serves Rococo better than chiaroscuro
- Cite the motifs: rocaille, shells, arabesques, mirrors
