The eighteenth Century in Europe at the stage of economic prosperity, people’s life rich, stability. In painting completely out of religious themes. Comfortable and relaxed scene instead of the saints martyrdom in response to pain, reality is a step forward. The Louis fifteen times tends to be called "Rococo" style, and gradually replaced the "Baroque" style.The Rococo Era that poetic feelings, created a poet painter Watteau, Boucher and Fragonard.Watteau was Prince Regent painter, in his painting, good at using has decorative ornate style, depicting those empty boring noble men and women’s life, which he is just a cool spectator, in his paintings, there is a sadness. Watteau romantic idyllic world contains retirement mountain spirit, expressed his autocratic non personality cultural revolt. In his works, often use the statue to trigger an ideal world of a beautiful and pleasant imagination. The statue and realistic characters intertwined techniques to create a wonderful dreamland, profound and meaningful shows Rococo Era nobles the fantasy that does not exist in the land of idyllic beauty. This is also the Rococo art spirit——is a secret to life in death approaches must. This is where Watteau works progress significance. Watteau reproduces the flashy scene eighteenth Century nobles life for us, to include poetry feelings and subtle irony, to explain the profound connotation. And the performance be light of heart from care type of luxury style is quite different from the Rococo art, created a precedent.Boucher (Francois Boucher,1703-1770) is a representative painter Rococo style development to the peak period. He is a student of Watteau, he in order to attract people to the reality of love and life fun as the theme, into a bathing beauty figure in the painting skills. To describe complete, filled with legendary love story. Boucher’s world is filled with joy, and sorrow Watteau dusk are very different. But it is still a continuation of Watteau statue that works with the parcel, myth coat love story and pastoral sentiment to decorate and beautify the bourgeois aristocratic life.Fragonard (Jean-Honore Fragonard,1732-1806) is after the death of the painter Ponpadu lady, advocating life genre Fra Gore Na Lito tide, he continued to sing the social customs, be light of heart from care love or chastity, and the upper figure of a romantic affair table bold, naked. In his works is still a continuation of the statue that theme approach, his free large brush strokes, the excellent performance of the movement and light, catch the real atmosphere everything around. Fully reflects the nobility addicted to tease the senses and the hedonism of the soul. Fragonard golden hue is eighteenth Century Rococo art finally burst out of the most dazzling spark. But don’t people like Watteau, Boucher on that passion. He welcomed the French Revolution full of joy, but found his talent in the new order and lack scope for their abilities. In the intense struggle moment bourgeoisie, Rococo art to hedonism, slim, lightweight, soft, mainly is on the sinking edge. When the need is no longer the pursuit of individuality, freedom "Pastoral", they need to be like David, art called on people to dedicate themselves to the ideal charge "Heras brothers swear" such magnificent neoclassical. Since then, art taste and back to the original simple order.When the history makes us surprised, details so that we shed tears. Each civilization period, creating a unique cannot be repeated art, each painting works, the life, the life and so very many pain, wonder, joy and light, has been mysterious image covers. Artists in the painting essence is no longer clear ideas, suggesting that it "casual". The secret hidden in the painting behind is the problem that is worth to think the painter in the painting for the viewer to leave. Rococo art historians to this phenomenon, the "hedonism" and "vulgar" One principle runs through it all. But very few people pay attention to this period of painting works of "symbolic", ignore this art phenomena show the positive side of the. This paper attempts to start from the Rococo Era artists, representative works, respectively, from the theme, theme, the composition, color, form and content to further reveal the paintings in the unique "symbolic", aims to revisit the eighteenth Century Rococo art, have a more objective, more comprehensive understanding of the period of art. Development of Rococo art is short, but has played an indelible role in the history of art, made a great contribution to the development of this kind of style and for the development of human social science and civilization.
