Landmarks of Western Art, Vol. 4: Rococo to Revolution

This film is one of a six-part series that traces the evolution of Western art through the centuries. In this episode, the focus is on the 18th century, which started with the development of decorative art known as Rococo, and ended with increased emphasis on pastoral themes and the plight and dignity of common people. The film presents some beautiful pieces of art from the world's leading museums. Represented are the works of Titian, Rubens, Watteau, Gainesborough, and others. Art historians provide insight into the lives and times of these and other artists. ~ Rose of Sharon Winter, All Movie Guide
