Additional Information

Style: Louis XV (1722-1774)

The chronological terms of this stylistic phase only approximately coincide with the years of the reign of the French sovereign (from 1722 to 1774).
It has in fact been seen that already in the period of the Orleans regency there are precognitions and extensive developments in the Rococo sense, and moreover since the 1950s the change in taste in the Neoclassical sense becomes full-blown fashion already around 1760.
