French

Jean Étienne Le Bel is a French Fête Galante School artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at National Gallery of Ireland.

Jean Étienne Le Bel painted elegant scenes of outdoor parties in 18th-century France. His two works here, Fête Champêtre - Music and Fête Champêtre - Dance, show musicians and dancers in sunlit gardens, surrounded by well-dressed guests. The paintings capture the fashions, instruments, and pastimes of the time with soft brushwork and gentle colors. Tap the Fête Champêtre - Dance to step into the scene and spot the details up close.
