What to look for

Rococo: Baroque before it is darker, heavier and more serious; Neoclassicism after it is sober, linear and moral.

Antonio Corradini (19 October 1688 – 12 August 1752) was an Italian Rococo sculptor from Venice. He is best known for his illusory veiled depictions of the human body, where the contours of the face and body beneath the veil are discernible. Wikipedia
