Jean-Honoré Fragonard (1732-1806) painted this already at age 18. The Musical Contest is such a typical Rococo work of art. Very colorful and joyous.

Not surprisingly, Fragonard would become the best-known Rococo painter.

Caspar David Friedrich (1774-1840) has made wonderful landscapes of people contemplating nature.

The Abbey in the Oakwood is one of them, though it could also have been a screenshot from a horror movie..
