Descripción
Refers to the French style of architecture and decorative arts between approximately 1710 and 1730 and including the period between 1715 and 1723 when Philippe II, Duc d'Orléans served as regent to Louis XV. Considered an early phase of Rococo, it is characterized by the introduction of more frivolous subject matter and ornament such as chinoiserie, grotesques, and fête galantes which gradually superceded the heavier Classical forms associated with the Baroque.
