ca. 2,5 km von Schloss Augustusburg in Brühl entfernt, liegt am Rande des weitläufigen Schlossparks das Jagdschloss Falkenlust, eines der bevorzugten Jagdschlösser des Kölner Kurfürsten und Erzbischofs Clemens August (1700/-61).
In nur wenigen Jahren entstand zwischen 1729 und 1737 nach den Plänen des kurbayerischen Hofbaumeisters François de Cuvilliés eine der intimsten und kostbarsten Schöpfungen des deutschen Rokoko.
Hunting lodge Falkenlust
Approx. 2.5 km from Augustusburg Castle in Brühl, on the edge of the extensive castle park, lies the hunting lodge Falkenlust, one of the favorite hunting lodges of the Elector and Archbishop of Cologne, Clemens August (1700/-61).
In just a few years, between 1729 and 1737, one of the most intimate and precious creations of German Rococo was created according to the plans of the Electoral Bavarian court architect François de Cuvilliés.
Amalienborg (Danish pronunciation: [æˈmɛˀljn̩ˌpɒˀ]) is the home of the Danish royal family, and is located in Copenhagen, Denmark. It consists of four identical classical palace façades with rococo interiors around an octagonal courtyard (Danish: Amalienborg Slotsplads); in the centre of the square is a monumental equestrian statue of Amalienborg's founder, King Frederick V.
Amalienborg was originally built for four noble families; however, when Christiansborg Palace burned on 26 February 1794, the royal family bought the palaces and moved in. Over the years various monarchs and their families have resided in the four different palaces.
Als Meisterwerk des Rokoko ist Schloss Augustusburg
in Brühl unmittelbar mit der Geschichte der großen europäischen Architektur in der ersten Hälfte des 18. Jahrhunderts verbunden. Kurfürst Clemens August beauftragte 1725 den westfälischen Architekten Johann Konrad Schlaun, auf den Fundamenten einer mittelalterlichen Burg ein Residenzschloss zu errichten. Kernstück von Schloss Augustusburg ist das beeindruckende Treppenhaus Balthasar Neumanns, das sich im Mittelflügel befindet. Als die ersten bedeutenden Schöpfungen des Rokokostils in Deutschland wurden die Schlösser Augustusburg und Falkenlust 1984 in die UNESCO-Welterbeliste aufgenommen.
As a Rococo masterpiece, Augustusburg Palace in Brühl is directly linked to the history of great European architecture in the first half of the 18th century. In 1725 Elector Clemens August commissioned the Westphalian architect Johann Konrad Schlaun to build a residential palace on the foundations of a medieval castle. The centerpiece of Augustusburg Palace is the impressive staircase by Balthasar Neumann, which is located in the middle wing. The Augustusburg and Falkenlust palaces were included in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1984 as the first significant creations of the Rococo style in Germany.
In the nave we find an impressive rococo pulpit (1741–1745), made in oak, gilded wood and white and black marble by Laurent Delvaux.
A portrait of one of the beautiful male ruffs in the breeding time. Now, two months later, they are brown-grey and look similar to the ladies they tried to impress so intensively in May. Isn't that a wonderful plumage?

In the 12th century church of Nävelsjö, Småland, there is an altar made by Johan Ullberg - he was from the south of Sweden and made quite a lot of them. It dates to 1761 and made in the Rococo style - but a rather more crude style than the one you would see in elegant palaces and great cathedrals. This is a small church far out in the country.

Le bâtiment d'origine a été construit au XVe siècle par la famille des Rabassa de Perellós, qui avait acquis la baronnie de Dos Aguas en 1496. Cette baronnie fut élevée au rang de marquis en 1699 par le roi Carlos II, convertissant la famille en Marqués de Dos Aguas.
En 1740, la famille procéda à une profonde rénovation du bâtiment. De cette époque sont présents de nombreux éléments architecturaux que nous observons aujourd'hui, ainsi que des éléments décoratifs de la façade, de style rococo.
The original building was built in the 15th century by the Rabassa de Perellós family, who had acquired the barony of Dos Aguas in 1496. This barony was raised to the rank of marquis in 1699 by King Carlos II, converting the family into Marques de Dos Aguas.
In 1740, the family carried out a major renovation of the building. From this period are present many architectural elements that we observe today, as well as decorative elements of the facade, in Rococo style.
18th century gravestones, churchyard of St John the Baptist, Great Gaddesden, Hertfordshire. A gravestone is a religious statement, however, its style follows the ups and downs of secular fashion. Rococo was "in" from the middle of the 18th century with its cherubs and putti. Perhaps it does reflect a more liberal way to think of the afterlife.

The Esterházy Palace at Fertőd is the greatest Baroque-Rococo monument complex in Hungary. On the site of the Palace, Duke Joseph Esterházy initiated the construction of a hunting lodge with twenty-two rooms in 1720, based on the plans of the Viennese architect, Erhard Martinelli. However, the golden age of the Palace began when Nicholas Esterházy (also known as Miklós ‘the Magnificent’) succeeded to the ducal title.
Utilising the grandeur of 18th century Baroque-Rococo architecture, Duke Nicholas enlarged the palace, and with the help of Nicolaus Jakoby; he created a large garden with several alleys. At the French Garden with an Opera House and a Marionette theatre and employed German theatre companies as well as Italian and French ballet dancers. The orchestra of the Palace led by Joseph Haydn the great musician and composer, the chamber composer and conductor at Eszterháza, was well-known all over Europe.
The second golden period of Eszterháza came about at the turn of the 19th and 20th century. The suites of the Palace and the French Garden were restored for Duke Nicholas Esterházy IV. and his wife, Countess Margaret Cziráky. Enchanted by Eszterháza the Countess spent her dowry on the restoration of the palace and the gardens. The modernisation of the park started in 1902. Among the designers of the gardens was Anton Umlauft, one of the best-known gardeners in the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy.
Mating season of the Ruffs. The male have a fantastic plumage at this time, and they always remind me a bit on the opulent lifestyle and fashion of the Rococo era

Director Janicza Bravo staged the Rococo Revival Room for the Met Museum's "In America: An Anthology of Fashion" exhibit.
From the Met's website:
"The Rococo Revival Parlor features furniture by one of the most innovative and virtuosic American cabinetmakers of the period in a room whose architectural elements–columnar screen, windows, doorway, doors, cornice, and rosette–are from the double parlor of a Classical Revival style villa built around 1850 in Astoria, Queens, for a prosperous businessman named Horace Whittemore (1813–1871)

A Ruff, showing its mating plumage. These birds always remind me on the fashion of the times of the Rococo, or maybe on a dragqueen, or also on a diva in a movie of the fourties. Thinking of this I had to try out if black and white will look also nice on the ruff - he may forgive me as he will for sure not look like a girl instead of impressing them.. :-)

Una decorazione a stucco della terrazza di casa in villa Lignola , una delle ville vesuviane progettata nella metà settecento ma che non ha mai visto i fasti previsti nel progetto per intervenute suddivisioni della proprietà.
This is the beautiful church of Kallmünz, a picturesque small village situated in the Naab valley north to Regensburg, Bavaria, very close to where I live.
I have posted an interior pano of this church before. See below in the comments. This image has been created from the exact same set of individual captures but using a totally different projection*.
Multi-row panorama (stitched from 6 individual HDR images) covering a viewing angle of 240°H x 160°V.
* Explanation: A panorama is a flat representation of the scene around the camera. Essentially, a 3D world is projected on a flat surface. There are multiple ways to do this (panoramic projections). There is no perfect panoramic projection; each projection has its own properties and limitations.
Another one of the beautiful ruff males with their fantastic mating plumage. Everyone of them looks different.
Preysing-Palais, Munich, Germany
It is Munich’s first and most beautiful Rococo palace, quite a significant monument, both from an art-historical viewpoint and as a tourist attraction. Built in 1723-1728 by the electoral master builder Effner for Count Maximilian von Preysing-Hohenaschau, it was reconstructed after World War II by Erwin Schleich.
Especially famous is its imposing stairwell. As you proceed up the magnificent staircase you can enjoy the exquisite sweeping ornamental stuccowork — one of Munich’s most beautiful examples of aristocratic architecture.
Das Rokoko ist eine Stilrichtung der europäischen Kunst von etwa 1730 bis etwa 1780.
Rococo or Late Baroque, is an exceptionally ornamental and theatrical style of architecture, art and decoration which combines asymmetry, scrolling curves, gilding, white and pastel colors, sculpted molding, and trompe-l'œil frescoes to create surprise and the illusion of motion and drama.
