"A Rural Idyll" is a pastoral print created by the English artist Edward Calvert (1799–1883) in 1872. Calvert, a key figure in the early 19th-century pastoral and visionary art movement, was known for his woodcuts and engravings that often depicted bucolic scenes influenced by classical literature and his own idealized vision of the countryside. "A Rural Idyll" is emblematic of Calvert's work during this period, showcasing his fascination with Arcadian themes and his commitment to capturing the serene and harmonious relationship between humans and nature.

The print features a tranquil rural scene, possibly inspired by the idyllic landscapes of the English countryside or the pastoral settings found in the works of classical poets such as Virgil. The composition typically includes figures in a state of repose or gentle activity, immersed in a lush and fertile environment that evokes a sense of timelessness and a golden age of simplicity and contentment.

As a member of the Ancients, a group of artists who were followers of William Blake, Calvert's work is characterized by a distinctive blend of Romanticism and Neoclassicism. His artistic output, though not prolific, was influential in its exploration of pastoral and mythological subjects, and "A Rural Idyll" is a fine example of his dedication to these themes. The print is reflective of Calvert's mature style, where he achieved a high level of craftsmanship and a delicate interplay of light and shadow through his mastery of printmaking techniques.

"A Rural Idyll" is held in various art collections and has been the subject of scholarly attention for its contribution to the pastoral genre and its place within the broader context of 19th-century British art. The work is appreciated for its technical skill, its evocative portrayal of an idealized rural life, and its role in the continuation of pastoral artistic traditions.
