Introduction
Rococo is an artistic style and movement that impacts so many points of arts including literature, theatre, painting, sculpture, interior design, music, architecture and decoration. It was designed in Paris in an early 18th century due to the reaction against strict regulations, symmetry and also grandeur earlier Baroque style. Neoclassicism is described as the name that is given to the Western movements in visual arts and beautiful, music, theatre, literature and also architecture that usually draws the inspiration from “Classical” art and the culture of Ancient Rome or the Ancient Greece (Kim, et al. 2014). Also, Romanticism or the Romantic period was the intellectual movement, literary and artistic that come from Europe. Therefore, the paper will discuss the characteristics that distinguish the Romanticism, Neoclassicism and Rococo from each other. Also, it will look at how the styles were reactionary. The three methods have different characteristics that distinguish themselves from each other. For Rococo, the features that make it look distinct from the other two include, it prevailed in the early 18th century. It has the “Solon” culture. Its term comes from the Barroco which is an irregular shaped pearl and also rocaille, for example, rock ornament or shells. It is also characterised by the undulating lines, refined and also fanciful. Features of Neoclassicism that distinguishes it from the rest include, it is usually a reaction to the Rococo (Kim, et al. 2014). It is revived from the Roman and Greek sources. It usually prevails the history painting. It also designed to touch the moral lessons and also please senses. For example, it uses the technique of stress drawing with the lines, not with colour or trace of brushwork. Finally, it is the Romanticism which is concerned with the imagination and emotions. For example, its emotions are in dramatic and in a bold manner. Also, its colour is unrestrained, gorgeous shades and thick. Its tone is also nonconformist, spontaneous and also subjective (Kim, et al. 2014).Reactionary is described as the rational moralist political insanity and combating culture. Therefore, the style was conservative through the grave and contemplative nature of the neoclassical pieces (Kim, et al. 2014). For example the Romanticism style. Also, through the baroque and the rococo. For example, it brought about the simpler style and also the “pure” ideals of the classical era.In conclusion, the styles had things that they shared in common. For example, they emphasise on the social condition, political condition and culture in their theme. They found the critical role colour plays in enhancing the image of a significance structure. They also keep their strict value by the use of decorative features. For example sculpture and paintings.ReferencesKim, D., Son, S. W., & Jeong, H. (2014).
