Within The Florence Gould Galleries, this space showcases Italian and French sculpture and decorative arts created during the late seventeenth century, influenced by the work of the Baroque sculptor Gian Lorenzo Bernini and the study of the antiquities of Rome. In Northern Europe, the work of French and Dutch printmakers influenced the design of furniture, metalwork, and textiles. By the early eighteenth century, a reaction to the formality of the court of King Louis XIV in France inspired a more lighthearted approach to decoration. Asymmetry and fantastic creatures inspired by Asian art were some of the prominent features of the Rococo style that found expression in all forms of the decorative arts.
