Abstract A new style evolved in the decade of 1720-30. Now the Europeans would treat their "Chinese" and "Indian" subjects in a more fanciful manner, far removed from reality and often quite caricatural. Such chinoiserie owed much to the French, whose work would influence the whole of Europe. The development coincided with the emergence of the Rococo, an artistic manifestation all but synonymous with the reign of Louis XV. If chinoiserie cannot be identitified totally with the Rococo, it was certainly one of the more important aspects of that style, which in a very subtle manner combined Far Eastern elements with European motifs. -- Introduction
