We Ranked the 10 Best Picnic Scenes in the History of Art to Inspire Your Memorial Day Festivities


La Partie Carrée (1870). Collection of the National Gallery of Canada.
As spring turns to summer, one can’t help but long for a good old-fashioned picnic. And by old-fashioned, we mean
really old-fashioned—the picnic has been a perennial favorite for over 500 years.
While dining outdoors has (of course) been happening forever, the outdoor repast as an escape into nature dates back to the medieval era. Following hunting expeditions, the wealthy would enjoy outdoor feasts accompanied by heavy furniture, crystal glasses, and all manner of accouterment carried by servants. 
The meaning of the word “picnic,” too, has shifted over time. It first surfaced in 18th-century France, and originally meant something more akin to a potluck. In the 19th century, the word gained the outdoor connotations we’re familiar with today.
