How to use "Rococo" in context?
When we think of rococo, we may think of ornate and over the top designs. But this period of art also had a more subtle side, with compositions that were inspired by nature. This is where the term 'rococo' comes from, which means painted by rocco (a type of bird). This type of art was popular in the late 1700s and early 1800s, and used a lot of delicate detail and soft colors. It was often used to decorate large, expensive objects, like furniture and houses.
