The term translates to "rural festival" or "outdoor feast," and the paintings are representations of rural feasts or open-air entertainment. The figures are often engaged in pleasurable activities such as eating, dancing, flirting, or listening to music. "Fête galante" is sometimes used as a synonym, but these are more graceful, usually aristocratic scenes with well-dressed figures in pastoral settings. ]]></note></mads>
