"La Pêche" (English: "Fishing") is an 18th-century oil painting by the French Rococo artist François Boucher, created in 1757 as part of a decorative scheme for the dining room of the Hôtel de Soubise in Paris. The painting is one of a pair, its counterpart being "La Chasse" (English: "The Hunt"), and both works were commissioned by the Prince of Soubise, Charles de Rohan. These pastoral scenes reflect the aristocratic taste of the time for idyllic landscapes and leisurely pursuits, embodying the Rococo style's emphasis on pleasure and playfulness.

Measuring 6 feet 3 inches by 4 feet 3 inches, "La Pêche" depicts a romanticized vision of nature with elegantly dressed figures in a lush, verdant setting engaged in the activity of fishing. The composition is characterized by a soft, pastel color palette, fluid lines, and a light, airy atmosphere, which are hallmarks of Boucher's work. The figures are arranged in a manner that guides the viewer's eye through the scene, with the central characters—a young man and woman—interacting playfully by the water's edge, surrounded by putti and other figures who participate in or observe the fishing activity.

The painting is notable for its blend of classical references and contemporary fashion, as well as its embodiment of the Rococo spirit of frivolity and sensuality. Boucher's skillful use of brushwork and his ability to capture the textures of fabrics and the natural environment contribute to the painting's charm and appeal.

"La Pêche," along with "La Chasse," was intended to convey the pleasures of country life and the leisure of the elite class. The works were part of a larger decorative program that included overdoors and tapestries, all designed to create an immersive and harmonious environment for the prince's residence.

Today, "La Pêche" is held in the collection of the Musée du Louvre in Paris, where it continues to be admired for its artistry and as an example of Boucher's contribution to the Rococo movement. The painting is often studied in the context of 18th-century French art and culture, and it remains an important work in the oeuvre of François Boucher.
