Playful Style: Rococo. Classical baroque modulated into a lighter, more playful style in the early 1700's, and this trend culminated in the rococo style about 1725. Unlike classical baroque, rococo prefers asymmetry and searches for swirling movement and rich surface animation. Rococo is primarily an ornamental style, and the apparently irregular appearance of a rococo object is often found to be a matter of decoration, not of under¬lying form. The favorite decorative motifs are naturalistic.

The situation in England was different; the Nor¬man culture, in architecture at least, was more advanced and monumental than the Anglo-Saxon. Hence, the Normans imposed their style on Eng¬land after 1066, though a few even earlier exam¬ples attested their influence.
