Le Rococo est un mouvement artistique européen du XVIIIe siècle touchant principalement l’architecture, mais également les arts décoratifs, ainsi que la peinture et, dans une moindre mesure, la musique et la littérature. Il se développa de 1730 à 1758, principalement dans le Saint-Empire romain germanique (Allemagne, Autriche, Bohême), en Europe du Sud (Italie, Espagne, Portugal), à la suite du mouvement baroque, pour créer un style d'une grande prodigalité, particulièrement dans les églises et dans les lieux sacrés.
Ce style culmina dans l'œuvre de l'architecte et décorateur bavarois d'origine flamande François de Cuvilliés, dont le pavillon d'Amalienburg (1734-1739) à Nymphenburg, près de Munich, demeure un exemple inégalé de parfaite fusion entre architecture et décoration. §L’origine du terme rococo[modifier | modifier le code] §Historique du mouvement rococo[modifier | modifier le code]
