Anotations

Scope note:

Style identified retroactively to describe works of the late 17th and 18th centuries. Considered a modification of the Baroque, and often appearing in autocratic monarchies of France and Britain, where the original excesses of the Baroque are lessened and elements of classical antiquity are re-established.
