Baroque led to the exuberant Rococo style. Rococo began in the eighteenth century at [[Versailles]] like an art of exquisite refinement and linearity. Architects like Robert de Cotte, Gilles Marie Oppenord, and Jacques Ange Gabriel were representative of this style. Later, in the mid-18th century, Neoclassical architecture  began as a reaction against the Rococo ornament. It was inspired in the architecture of Classical Greece.
