More information

The designer and architect Juste-Aurèle Meissonnier (1695-1750) gave the French Rococo its most vibrant expression. He came originally from Italy, but made his career in Paris and was appointed by Louis XV as "Dessinateur de la chambre et du cabinet du roi". He published his work in "Livres d'ornements a trente pieces and ornements de la carte chronologique". His ability to capture the Rococo playful expressions and decorative effects made him much sought after, and he received orders from several European royal houses.
