"Le Repas Italien" is a painting by the French artist Nicolas Lancret (1690–1743), who was a prominent painter of the Rococo era, known for his light-hearted depictions of the French aristocracy and bourgeoisie. The painting, whose title translates to "The Italian Meal" in English, is a quintessential example of Lancret's work, showcasing a genre scene that reflects the leisurely and often pastoral themes popular among French art collectors during the first half of the 18th century.

Created in the 1730s, "Le Repas Italien" illustrates a group of elegantly dressed figures engaged in a meal set in an idyllic outdoor environment, which was a common motif in Lancret's oeuvre. The painting is noted for its vibrant color palette, attention to detail, and the lively interaction among the figures, which include men and women in contemporary attire of the period. The composition is balanced and harmonious, with the figures arranged in a manner that leads the viewer's eye through the scene, allowing one to take in the various elements of the narrative.

Nicolas Lancret's work was highly influenced by his predecessor Antoine Watteau, and "Le Repas Italien" bears the hallmarks of this influence, particularly in its depiction of fêtes galantes, a term used to describe elegant outdoor entertainments that were a favorite subject of both artists. Lancret's paintings often captured the spirit of his time, reflecting the values and tastes of the Parisian society.

"Le Repas Italien" is held in high regard for its artistic merit and as an example of the cultural and social milieu of 18th-century France. The painting is part of a larger body of work by Lancret that documents the period's fashions, social customs, and the burgeoning appreciation for scenes of everyday life among the French elite. As with many of Lancret's paintings, "Le Repas Italien" is not only a work of art but also a historical document that offers insight into the pastimes and aesthetics of the Rococo period.

The painting is part of the collection of the Musée du Louvre in Paris, France, where it continues to be studied and admired for its contribution to the Rococo movement and its depiction of 18th-century French society.
