Editing Rococo (section)

==Italy==
Artists in Italy, particularly [[Venice]], also produced an exuberant Rococo style. Venetian [[commode]]s imitated the curving lines and carved ornament of the French Rocaille, but with a particular Venetian variation; the pieces were painted, often with landscapes or flowers or scenes from [[Guardi]] or other painters, or [[Chinoiserie]], against a blue or green background, matching the colours of the [[Venetian school (art)|Venetian school]] of painters whose work decorated the salons. Notable decorative painters included [[Giovanni Battista Tiepolo]], who painted ceilings and murals of both churches and palazzos, and [[Giovanni Battista Crosato]] who painted the ballroom ceiling of the [[Ca' Rezzonico]] in the [[illusionistic ceiling painting|quadraturo]] manner, giving the illusion of three dimensions. Tiepolo travelled to Germany with [[Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo|his son]] during 1752–1754, decorating the ceilings of the [[Würzburg Residence]], one of the major landmarks of the Bavarian Rococo. An earlier celebrated Venetian painter was [[Giovanni Battista Piazzetta]], who painted several notable church ceilings.{{Sfn|de Morant|1970|page=383}}

The Venetian Rococo also featured exceptional glassware, particularly [[Murano glass]], often engraved and coloured, which was exported across Europe. Works included multicolour chandeliers and mirrors with extremely ornate frames.{{Sfn|de Morant|1970|page=383}}
