The vast complex of St. Peter's provided a magnificent setting for papal pomp and pageantry. In Bernini, the Roman CathoIic church found its virtuoso architect and scuIptor. The Emperor in Vienna and the Kings and Princes in 17th century Europe aIso used the arts as a means of dispIaying their power. In particular Louis XIV, with his palace and garden of VersailIes.
Rococo Art
The world of salons, sophisticated festivities and the lovely world of make-beIieve is reflected in the pictures of Watteau and Boucher. The Huge residentiaI paIaces were replaced by smalI pIeasure houses, the "maisons de pIaisance." Sanssouci, the paIace of the Prussian King Frederick ll, was constructed not as a pIace to represent, but to think. |
