"The early eighteenth century was in the hands of princes and prelates whose wealth
and ambitions were reflected in masterpieces commissioned to celebrate the pomp
and splendor of their reign. Marvels of a dizzying grandeur were created in an
exuberantly ornate style designated as Rococo."
"More discreetly, abbots, bishops and archbishops, often of royal lineage, sought to
offer God and His followers palaces expressing their faith in ecstatic, even
voluptuous, terms."
During the 1985/86 autumn/winter semester, Jacques-Edouard Berger gave a lecture
series entitled "Baroque and Rococo Splendors". For the purposes of this program, we
have chosen the lecture he gave on February 11, 1986 - "Rocaille and Rococo II: the
putti's dance-in-the-round in honor of the greatness of God" - as an attempt to pay
tribute to the great art historian that he was. Indeed, beyond sparking enthusiasm for
art in general, it was in that role that he inspired appreciation for what, still today, is
all too frequently considered a bastardized art movement, namely the Rococo style.
What Mannerism is to the Renaissance, Rococo may be to the Baroque. In any case,
Rococo inspired a virtuoso explosion with felicitous consequences for those princes
and bishops who could indulge in the luxury of building or transforming their palaces
and churches. Besides the greats of the period known to everyone, such as Caravaggio

or Bernini, our overview highlights less familiar names such as Bergmller and
Sturm, to mention but one each of that era's great painters and sculptors.
