Rococo Paintings for the Living Room
Here are 21 Rococo paintings for the living room, painted between 1712 and 1787, with works by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, Jean-Honoré Fragonard and Hubert Robert; the subjects they return to most are landscapes, and skies and weather. Above a sofa or fireplace it needs real scale, about two thirds of the furniture's width, so the famous works that suit it are landscapes, harbors, gardens and city views painted to be seen from across a room.
