The picture is the "The Gleaners" by Jean-François Millet, completed in 1857. It portrays three peasant women gleaning stray stalks of wheat after the harvest. This was a traditional practice for poor women and children, allowing them to collect leftover grain.
Subject:
The painting depicts the hard labor of peasant women, bending over to collect grain. Millet aimed to portray the dignity and spirituality of their work.
Reception:
While now considered a masterpiece, "The Gleaners" was initially met with scorn from the French upper class who feared its glorification of the lower ranks of society. They saw it as a reminder of the working class and the growing movement of socialism.
Symbolism:
The painting's size, typically reserved for religious or mythological themes, was considered unusual for a depiction of labor. The artist used a soft, golden light to convey the sanctity of the gleaners' relationship to the land.
Influence:
"The Gleaners" inspired numerous artists, including Seurat, Renoir, and van Gogh, and introduced a new theme in mid-century art.
The painting is housed at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris.
