The artwork titled “Pastoral Concert (Fête champêtre)” was created by Giorgione between the years 1508 and 1509. Rendered in oil on canvas, it belongs to the High Renaissance art movement and exemplifies the genre of allegorical painting. The dimensions of the artwork are 110 by 138 centimeters, and it is currently located in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France.
The painting depicts an idyllic pastoral scene, with two nude female figures in the foreground and two clothed male figures accompanying them. One female figure is pouring water from a glass pitcher into a well, characterized by her serene pose and presence. The other female figure is seated and holding a pipe, seemingly engaged in a musical performance with the males. The males similarly appear deeply engrossed, perhaps playing and listening, immersed in the tranquil interaction with the women and nature around them. The landscape is lush and verdant with trees and rural scenery stretching into the background, suggesting a harmonious blend of human and natural elements. The painting embodies the period’s exploration of poetic themes and the celebration of the pastoral lifestyle.
