Fête Champêtre Jean-Baptiste Pater about 1730 Oil on canvas "This painting depicts a gathering of elegantly dressed aristocrats in a wooded setting spending a pleasant moment. It reflects the Rococo movement of the 18th century, known for its soft colors and playful themes that celebrated beauty and joy. This art movement aimed to provide an escape from the seriousness of life and emerged as a response to the growing political and social tensions in France at that time."
