"Schnitter" is a notable painting by the Austrian artist Albin Egger-Lienz, created in 1911. Egger-Lienz, born in 1868, is renowned for his poignant and often somber depictions of rural life and the human condition, particularly focusing on the lives of peasants and the impact of war. "Schnitter," which translates to "Reapers" in English, exemplifies his mature style and thematic preoccupations.

The painting portrays a group of reapers, engaged in the physically demanding task of harvesting. Egger-Lienz's use of muted earth tones and his emphasis on the monumental, almost sculptural forms of the figures, imbue the scene with a sense of timelessness and gravity. The figures are depicted with a stark realism that highlights their toil and endurance, reflecting the artist's deep empathy for the working class and his interest in the cycles of life and death.

Egger-Lienz's technique in "Schnitter" is characterized by broad, sweeping brushstrokes and a deliberate simplification of forms, which lend the painting a powerful, almost primitive quality. This approach aligns with the broader Expressionist movement of the early 20th century, which sought to convey emotional experience rather than physical reality. However, Egger-Lienz's work remains distinct for its focus on rural subjects and its profound sense of human dignity.

"Schnitter" is often interpreted as a meditation on the relentless nature of labor and the inevitability of mortality. The reapers, with their stoic expressions and robust physiques, symbolize the enduring human spirit in the face of life's hardships. This painting, like much of Egger-Lienz's oeuvre, reflects his philosophical and existential concerns, as well as his deep connection to the Tyrolean landscape and its people.

Today, "Schnitter" is considered one of Egger-Lienz's masterpieces and is held in high regard for its artistic and historical significance. It continues to be studied and admired for its powerful depiction of human resilience and its contribution to early 20th-century European art.
