Abstract
The art of Rococo, which we are interested in studying in this research and highlighting its values and characteristics, is an artistic trend that goes back to the classical origins. The spread of this artistic trend began as a new face of the Renaissance in France at the beginning of the eighteenth century in 1715 AD, and “Rococo” art prevailed in most European countries.
