Rococo art focuses on the lavishness and indulgence of the artistocracy. Paintings are whimsical and have recognizable (and overt) erotic themes. Use of pastel colors and flowing brushstrokes was also popular.
Rococo is a style of 18th century French art and interior design. Rococo rooms were designed as total works of art with elegant and ornate furniture, small sculptures, ornamental mirrors, and tapestry complementing architecture, reliefs, and wall paintings. Painters used delicate colors and curving forms. Some works show a sort of naughtiness.
