As an artistic style, Rococo represented a reaction against the grandeur, symmetry, and strict regulations of the Baroque.
Élisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun (6 April 1755 – 30 March 1842), also known as Madame Le Brun, was a prominent French portrait painter of the late 18th century.
Portrait by William Hogarth of Francis Matthew Schutz vomiting into a chamber pot, which was commissioned by his wife Susan in 1755 to shame her husband into getting a grip.
