"A Summer Pastoral" (French: "L'Été pastoral") is a quintessential Rococo painting by the French artist François Boucher, created in 1749. This artwork is part of a series of four canvases representing the times of the day, with this particular piece embodying the warmth and leisure of summer. Boucher, known for his idyllic and voluptuous scenes, was a court painter to King Louis XV and the favorite artist of Madame de Pompadour, the king's influential mistress.

The painting, measuring 259 cm by 197 cm, is housed in the Wallace Collection in London, a national museum in a historic London townhouse. "A Summer Pastoral" is a testament to Boucher's skill in capturing the light-hearted and sensual spirit of the Rococo era, characterized by its ornate elegance, pastel color palette, and themes of love and nature.

In "A Summer Pastoral," Boucher depicts a lush, verdant landscape where a group of young shepherds and shepherdesses are engaged in amorous play and relaxation. The figures are elegantly dressed in contemporary, yet idealized, peasant attire, and the scene is infused with a sense of theatricality and artifice typical of Boucher's work. The artist's use of soft, diffused light and delicate brushwork enhances the dreamlike quality of the scene, inviting viewers into a harmonious world untouched by the concerns of everyday life.

The painting is celebrated for its decorative quality and its embodiment of the Rococo aesthetic, which favored escapist and hedonistic themes. "A Summer Pastoral" not only reflects the tastes of the French aristocracy of the time but also serves as an important example of Boucher's contribution to 18th-century art, illustrating his ability to blend classical themes with contemporary sensibilities. As such, it remains a significant work in the study of French painting and the Rococo movement.
