Rococo manifested in many areas at the time. Philosophy, music, architecture, painting, theatre, design.
In central and western Europe rich people had big and luxurious furniture. Large mirrors with large cutouts. The backs of chairs and table legs were of gold or other precious material.
In Rococo paintings were painted with less bright colors than Baroque. Example, Marie Antoinette a la Rose by Elisabeth Vigee-Lebrun, 1783.
Architecture was known for luxury. Buildings were built in the style of a lot of wealth. Also sculpture had many beautiful features, even if there was little.
In fashion were big and wide dresses with radiant colors popular. Wigs were still in fashion.
P.S. It ended another era of beauty and wealth. Then will be a new era.
