"L'Accordée de Village," translated as "The Village Bride," is a genre painting by French artist Jean-Baptiste Greuze, completed in 1761. This work is renowned for its embodiment of the Rococo style, which was prevalent in the mid-18th century, and for its transition towards the more sentimental and moralizing themes that would come to characterize the later Neoclassical movement. The painting is housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France, and stands as a testament to Greuze's skill in capturing the nuances of human emotion and the moral undertones of everyday life.

The painting depicts a scene of domestic virtue and rural simplicity, where a young bride is being endowed with her dowry. Central to the composition is the bride, modestly dressed and downcast, embodying the virtue of chastity and the gravity of the matrimonial ceremony. Surrounding her are figures that include her parents, the notary, and the groom, each character contributing to the narrative of the painting through their expressions and gestures. Greuze's attention to detail and his ability to convey complex emotions and social values through his work have led to "L'Accordée de Village" being considered a prime example of his artistic legacy.

Greuze's work is often noted for its didactic nature, and "L'Accordée de Village" is no exception. The painting serves as a visual lesson on the virtues of modesty, family unity, and the sanctity of marriage. It reflects the shifting tastes of the period, moving away from the frivolous and erotic subjects of earlier Rococo works towards more serious, moral subjects that would dominate the art of the subsequent Neoclassical period.

The painting's composition, with its careful arrangement of figures and the use of light to highlight the bride and the transaction at hand, demonstrates Greuze's mastery of the genre. His ability to weave complex narratives into his paintings and to evoke empathy from the viewer has secured "L'Accordée de Village" a place among the notable works of 18th-century French art. The painting remains an important cultural artifact, offering insight into the societal values and artistic preoccupations of its time.
