Generally the area 'halfway' between the viewer and the focus of the painting... the main component of the picture.

Middleground, ridden by jockey William Boland, won the 1950 Kentucky Derby.

Foreground - The part closest to the viewer. Middleground - the part inbetween the foreground and background. Background - The part farthest away from the viewer.

because you try to focus on an object either in the foreground, middleground, or background. Same thing with a camera. So, if you focus on something in the foreground, the background will be blurry, and vise versa.
