Waldemar Januszczak reimagines Rococo as modern prelude on Sky Arte

Sky Arte premieres a three-episode series on Rococo art, hosted by critic and historian Waldemar Januszczak, airing Saturday, August 21. The series offers an unconventional perspective on the often-stereotyped style, typically dismissed as a frivolous, decorative offshoot of Baroque. Januszczak instead frames Rococo as a prelude to modernity, examining three key themes explored by its artists: travel, pleasure, and doubt. The series is part of Sky Arte's programming, with its website powered by Artribune, which manages content and digital interface. The announcement also promotes Artribune's newsletters and social media channels.
