Appearing at the beginning of the 18th-century it rapidly spread to the whole of Europe. Extravagant and light Rococo responded perfectly to the spontaneity of the aristocracy of the time. In many aspects this art was linked to its predecessor Baroque and it is thus also referred to as late Baroque style.While artists such as Tiepolo Boucher and Reynolds carried the style to its apogee the movement was often condemned for its superficiality. In the second half of the 18th-century Rococo began its decline. At the end of the century facing the advent of Neoclassicism it was plunged into obscurity. It had to wait nearly a century before art historians could restore it to the radiance of its golden age which is rediscovered in this work by Klaus H. Carl and Victoria Charles.For more than a millennium from its creation in 330 A.D. until its fall in 1453 the Byzantine Empire was a cradle of artistic effervescence that we are only beginning to rediscover. Endowed with the rich heritage of Roman Eastern and Christian cultures Byzantine artists developed an architectural and pictorial tradition marked by symbolism whose influence extended far beyond the borders of the Empire. Today Italy Northern Africa and the Near East preserve the vestiges of this sophisticated artistic tradition with all of its mystical and luminous beauty. The magnificence of the palaces churches paintings enamels ceramics and mosaics from this civilisation guarantees Byzantine art s powerful influence and timelessness.
