Abstract
If ‘rococo science’ is a jarring phrase, this is not simply because we are accustomed to placing ‘art’ and ‘science’ in different mental categories. Consider the following statements, one about a set of ornamental engravings, the other about a theory of electricity. The first comes from the Mercure de France, the unofficial organ of the style rocaille in 1730s Paris; the second from the Histoire et Mémoires of the Royal Academy of Science, the official organ of French science in the same period.
