The Frilly, the Flirty, and the Fete Galante
Episode 6
Tuesday, 4 February, 2025
Bonjour, Honeys! This week we are talking about a movement known for being superficial, visually pleasurable, and full of fun scenes: get ready to Rococo. We'll focus on some of the flirtiest and frilliest of the movement's artworks to understand how the death of the Sun King inspired a culture of luxury and lushness in 18th century France. Deep diving into some of the most famous pre-Revolution French pieces will lead us to uncover the social motivations and the titillating tales behind them. And will help us explain what exactly the fete galante is, of course! Talk to you soon, Honeys!
