| Dancing Bride 6"x 4" $110.00 |
About 1750 a group of immigrant painters brought with them to America a style which has generally been described as Rococo. An essentially courtly style, it had a hard going among the colonists who domesticated it, leaving its lightness and grace. The style imported to America still had pretensions to aristocracy but was less pompous and more natural. I was trying to imagine a colonial bride celebrating her wedding day by bursting into an impromptu dance. I wanted also to convey her grace, charm, and prettiness and maybe hint at her social status and cultural refinement.
