Rococo artists reigned in the weighty drama of Baroque but retained its curves and elaborate ornament, resulting in a gentle, playful style typified by asymmetrical decoration and pastel colours. Most Rococo art was centred in France (the birthplace of the style), but Rococo architecture culminated in Austria and southern Germany. The style flourished especially in the form of churches.
