Thomas Jefferson. In 1796, Jefferson began to build a great

house for himself atop a small mountain near Charlottesville, Virginia (Monticello means "small mountain" in Italian). He continued to build and modify the house until his death in 1826.

Rococo Dress

The delicate frothiness of the Rococo was reflected in clothing

styles. From the 1720s until the Revolution, French taste dominated Europe.
The Rococo style spread to England, Spain, central Europe, and even into Russia. This period of aristocratic negligence and nostalgia drifted to a final conclusion in the bloodshed and turmoil of the French Revolution.
During the Revolutionary period, 1787 - 1795, the last vestiges of aristocratic dress were swept away, along with the individuals who wore them. The painting below captures the graceful indolence of the lifestyle.
