How much do you know about Rococo Art?

Hubert Robert (French, 1733–1808). The Swing, 1777–79. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. Gift of J. Pierpont Morgan, 1917 (17.190.27) | The image of a woman swinging back and forth on a swing has explicit sexual overtones and is typical of garden scenes in the early eighteenth-century French fêtes galantes tradition, to which Robert's painting belongs.

When looking at the majority of historical photos, it might seem that the world was black-and-white and all we had were wars and disease.
