===Rococo is really seen as the end of Baroque, the last hurrah. It was a derogatory term and the church didn't fully embrace this style because it was seen as frivolous. It started in architecture and more the decorative arts with furniture. Much of it had to do with the aristocracy and the fancy, frou-frou things that they had. Most everyday people couldn't really afford these items. ===

William Hogarth – 1697 – 1764
English painter, printmaker, pictorial satirist, social critic and editorial cartoonist who has been credited with pioneering western sequential art. His work ranged from realistic portraiture to comic strip-like series of pictures called "modern moral subjects". Knowledge of his work is so pervasive that satirical political illustrations in this style are often referred to as "Hogarthian." []
