He was born in Paris and studied under the tutelage of Jean-Baptiste Oudry, who specialized in still life and animal painting. Lancret later became a member of the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture in 1719.

The Painting: 'Le Repas Italien'

The painting Le Repas Italien (1735) is an oil on canvas piece by Nicolas Lancret, which measures 90 x 91 cm. The painting depicts a scene of a group of people enjoying a meal in an Italian setting.

Historical Context

The Rococo style emerged in France during the early 18th century as a reaction against the grandeur and formality of the Baroque period. The movement emphasized lightness, elegance, and grace, and was characterized by delicate colors, intricate patterns, and asymmetrical compositions. Le Repas Italien reflects the Rococo interest in depicting scenes of leisure and pleasure.
