Definition
大饱眼福 is a four-character idiom (成语) meaning 'to feast one's eyes on something'. The literal breakdown is: 大 (greatly) + 饱 (satisfy/full) + 眼 (eye) + 福 (blessing/fortune), so it evokes 'greatly satisfying the eye's fortune'. You use it when you see something so beautiful or visually impressive that it feels like a treat. It's typically used as a predicate or as a complement after 令人 (to cause someone to).
f.e.
to feast one's eyes on somethingto enjoy a visual spectacle
