COMMENTARY
UNDERLINED TERMS ARE DEFINED IN THE GLOSSARY.
In a reaction against elaborate, curving paneling and furniture in interior decoration, a flat, droll, and delicate mode emerged from Claude Audran's work at various royal palaces. Commentators generally praised the lively ornamentation known as arabesques and grotesques. Watteau, in his panels for the Hotel Nointel, set graceful figures in decorative trompe-l'oeil brackets. Two of these panels survived, now in Valenciennes.
