Le rococo, ou style rocaille en France, est un mouvement artistique européen du XVIIIe siècle touchant l’architecture, les arts décoratifs, la peinture et la sculpture. Il se développe de 1715 à 1780 en France et ensuite dans le Saint-Empire romain germanique, puis en Europe du Sud (Savoie, Italie, Espagne, Portugal), à la suite du mouvement baroque.
