Masterpiece of the Week
Fête in a Wood by Nicolas Lancret, c. 1722
This artwork depicts a lively festival scene with people enjoying food and drink under trees. Nicolas Lancret, influenced by Antoine Watteau, provides a more grounded view compared to Watteau’s ethereal scenes. Lancret blends a courtly vision with a glimpse into a country carnival, featuring a mix of social classes.
The Wallace Collection, London.
