The Fête champêtre
The 17th-century public would have delighted in this amusing spectacle. At the same time, viewers would
have been aware of its hidden message: there is more to life on earth than eating, drinking and merrymaking.
A telling detail is the chained monkey: it stands for sinful man, who allows himself to be fettered by his base instincts.
