''Le Feu'' (The Fire) is a painting by the French artist Nicolas Lancret (1690–1743), a prominent member of the Rococo movement known for his genre scenes and depictions of the French aristocracy's leisure activities. This work is part of a series of four canvases representing the elements of Earth, Air, Fire, and Water, a common theme in Baroque and Rococo art, reflecting the period's fascination with natural philosophy and the categorization of the natural world.

Created in the 1730s, ''Le Feu'' embodies the Rococo style with its playful, light-hearted depiction of an elegant social gathering around a fireplace, a setting that allows Lancret to explore the interplay of light and shadow as well as the dynamics of social interaction. The painting's composition is characteristic of Lancret's work, featuring a group of finely dressed figures engaged in conversation, flirtation, and enjoyment of the warmth and comfort provided by the fire, which serves as both a literal and metaphorical focal point of the scene.

The figures are typically arranged in a fluid, asymmetrical composition, with a sense of movement and liveliness that is enhanced by the artist's delicate brushwork and use of pastel colors. Lancret's attention to detail is evident in the sumptuous fabrics and textures of the clothing, as well as in the objects that populate the scene, all of which contribute to the overall atmosphere of genteel luxury.

''Le Feu'' is not only a representation of the element of fire but also an insight into the social customs and cultural preoccupations of the French elite during the reign of Louis XV. The painting, along with its companion pieces, would have been prized by patrons for both its aesthetic qualities and its embodiment of contemporary intellectual themes.

As a work by Nicolas Lancret, ''Le Feu'' is significant in the context of 18th-century French painting, illustrating the transition from the grandeur of the Baroque to the more intimate and decorative Rococo style. The painting is held in high regard for its artistry and as an exemplar of the themes and techniques that define Lancret's contribution to the Rococo movement.
