The Village Bride

The Village Bride (L'Accordée de Village) is a painting by the French artist Jean-Baptiste Greuze, created in 1761. It is now in the Louvre, in Paris. The work was first exhibited at the 1761 Salon, where it was unanimously praised by the critics, notably by Diderot. It was the first example of the 'moral painting' genre, to which Greuze often returned.

It was part of a series of 6 paintings. Caroline de Valory, a former pupil of Greuze, collaborated with the writer Alexandre Louis Bertrand Robineau to produce L'Accordée de Village, a one-act comedy based on the paintings.
