    Short and explanatory ideas about the two art styles. I liked particularly the explanations of the paintings.

    I understanded the history of French art.
    I like Rococo the best. Especially I like Fragonard because his color is soft and theme is romantic. It is also interesting to find to hidden mochifus.
    It was interesting that there was a composition similar to Pieta.
