Baroque art manifested itself
differently in various European
countries owing to their unique
political and cultural climates.
 In 18th century Europe, the
ROCOCO Rococo style became prevalent
in interior design, painting,
sculpture, and the decorative
arts. A reaction to the rigidity of
Baroque style, the frivolous and
playful Rococo first manifested
itself with interior design and
decorative work. In French, the
word salon simply means living
room or parlour, and Rococo
salons refer to central rooms
that are designed in the Rococo
style. In addition, the notion of
the ‘salon’ is an Enlightenment
era ideal that transformed the
living room into the central
space for aristocracy to entertain
guests and engage in intellectual
conversation. The idea that
one’s architectural surroundings
should encourage a way of life,
or reflect one’s values, was the
philosophy of the time.
