By the year 1700 ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐๐ง-๐ฌ๐ฉ๐๐๐ค๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐ญ๐ซ๐ข๐๐ฌ have once more become articulate. For over a century the disorderly aftermath of the Reformation, followed by the dreary, interminable horrors of the Thirty Years War, had kept them from playing a part in the history of civilisation. Then peace, stability, the natural strength of the land, and ๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ข๐๐ซ ๐ฌ๐จ๐๐ข๐๐ฅ ๐จ๐ซ๐ ๐๐ง๐ข๐ฌ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง, allowed them to add to the sum of European experience two shining achievements, one in music, the other in architecture. Of course the music is more important to us. In a period when poetry was almost dead, when the visual arts were little more than a shadow of what they had been, when the emotional life seemed almost to have dried up, music expressed the most serious thoughts and intuitions of the time, just as painting had done in the early sixteenth century. This chapter is primarily about music ; and some of the qualities of eighteenth-century music -its melodious flow, its complex symmetry, its decorative invention - are reflected in the architecture; but not its deeper appeal to the emotions. And yet the Rococo style has a place in civilisation. Serious-minded people used to call it shallow and corrupt, chiefly because it was intended to give pleasure; well, the founders of the American Constitution, who were far from frivolous, thought fit to mention the pursuit of happiness as a proper aim for mankind, and if ever this aim has been given visible form it is in Rococo architecture - the pursuit of happiness and the pursuit of love.~~~Kenneth Clark: ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐.
