jocular

Examples of jocular in the following topics:

• Rococo Architecture

  • The styles, despite both being richly decorated, also had different themes; the Baroque, for instance, was more serious, placing an emphasis on religion, and was often characterized by Christian themes (as a matter of fact, the Baroque began in Rome as a response to the Protestant Reformation); Rococo architecture was an 18th-century, more secular, adaptation of the Baroque which was characterized by more light-hearted and jocular themes.

• Painting and Sculpture

  • In such a way, Rococo artists opted for a more jocular, florid and graceful approach to Baroque art and architecture.
