The Baroque in France: Classicism and Absolutism for the Public
• Art dominated by classicism: the influence of ancient Greek and Rome.
• Classicism seen as representing authority, order, and enduring tradition.
• Birth of the History painting.
• French artists studied in Italy but were recalled by King Louis XIII and had to make works for the royal family.

The Rococo in France: Frivolity and Intimacy
• Rococo seen as the final phase of
the Baroque.
• Subjects of Rococo works show flirting, loves, and losses of the aristocratic class, as well as the simple (idealized) pleasures of country life. Sweet.
• Fete Galante: outdoor entertainment.
• Characterized by pastel colors, small scale, and doll-like human figures.
• In architecture focus is on lavish, curvilinear interiors.
