"The Meeting" is a painting by François Boucher, a renowned French painter of the Rococo style, known for his idyllic and voluptuous paintings, decorative allegories representing pastoral themes, and classical subjects. Created in 1748, "The Meeting" is part of a series of four canvases known as the "Loves of the Shepherds," commissioned by Madame de Pompadour, the mistress of King Louis XV, for the Château de Bellevue.

This artwork, measuring 72 x 91 cm, is currently housed in the Frick Collection in New York. "The Meeting" is a quintessential example of Boucher's romanticized pastoral scenes, depicting a young shepherdess and a shepherd in a moment of amorous encounter. The lush landscape, soft pastel tones, and the delicate rendering of the figures' flesh are characteristic of Boucher's style and contribute to the overall sensuous and dreamlike quality of the painting.

Boucher's work in "The Meeting" reflects the Rococo taste for playfulness, pleasure, and the celebration of love and beauty. The painting's composition, with its intricate play of glances and gestures, and the inclusion of symbolic elements such as flowers and sheep, all serve to enhance the narrative of courtship and seduction. As with many of Boucher's paintings, "The Meeting" is noted for its ornamental elegance and the light-hearted, yet sophisticated, approach to the subject matter.

"The Meeting," along with the other paintings in the series, exemplifies the cultural and artistic preferences of the French aristocracy in the mid-18th century, and remains an important work for understanding the social and artistic context of the period. François Boucher's contribution to the Rococo movement and his influence on later artists is well documented, and "The Meeting" is a significant piece within his oeuvre that continues to be studied and admired for its artistic merit and historical significance.
