@KarlMartell732 Human kind has always been eager to get to know/understand/explore and control its environment. That's what led us to the secular, post-revolutionary era. I don't believe there ever was a an innocent time, when everything was good before everything went wrong. Nothing has ever been that black and white.
Surely, man has always been struggling to get process and power. And of course I´m happy about the freedoms the revolution brought to us.
But in our western culture, that secularization following 1789 also led to a tremendous arrogance of man making himself god, eventually leading to horrible ideologies as soviet communism and fascism. As well as the decadence we face today.
@KarlMartell732 lol, they didn't dare to make themselves gods?? Louis XIV made himself to a god and he lived in barock! get a bit in touch with history
he ruled by the grace of god, but he didn´t dare to do crimes like those of the most atheist century in history, the 20th. i bet you don´t even know the differende between baroque and rococo my friend...
@KarlMartell732 oh of course i know.. history of arts is a subject in the arts school i attend...the differece, especially in the faces is that they're not individual, like doll-faces.. there's no ( i don't know how to say in english^^) "psychiologisierung der physiognomie".. in rococo they only pretend a peaceful ideal world, they thought the live is a stage and they're only actors on it - so they draw the faces like masks... you can even say rococo-faces could be faces from a 'catalogue'...
In my opinion, rococo is highly influenced by chamber orchestra music, which was really the dominant art in the 18th century (Bach, Händel, Vivaldi, Rameau, Gluck, Haydn, Mozart and many more). The painting style, to me, looks like pure music translated into oil.
thats a great statement.. i never thought about music of that age
I just behold the paintings, sculptures and architecture with their artistically characteristics as parts of a whole artwork and its analogy to ideals and politics of the nobility and the church of that period of time.
thank you, now I'll comprise coeval music to my viewing of arts.
I got the idea from the book I´m currently reading, Spengler: "The decline of the west". He argues that around 1700, music became ruling over all other styles of art. Even architecture became "musical", with no strict forms.
To him, and me now :), music is the ultimate style of the western mind to express its soul, whose symbol is infinity. Analogical to this, the symbol of the ancient greek-roman soul was the presence, the pure body. Difficult stuff, but interesting :)
@KarlMartell732 ok, he didn't do sth. like hitler or so... but as far as i know he saw himself as a equal to god.. but may my teacher's wrong^^ unfortunatelly we can't ask louis XIV^^
beautiful and haunting at the same time :)

Rococo was the last period of the pre-modern age before the secular, post-revolutionary era began.
I love the innocence in their eyes. Innocence, in my view, because they still lived in a time, when man did not dare to make himself god.
