"The Gleaners" is an oil painting created by the Belgian artist Emile Claus in the mid-1890s. As a prominent figure in the Belgian artistic movement known as Luminism, Claus was celebrated for his ability to capture the effects of light and atmosphere in his landscapes. "The Gleaners" exemplifies this style with its vibrant depiction of light playing across the figures and the landscape.

The painting portrays a group of peasant women gleaning the fields after the harvest, a subject that harks back to the age-old practice of collecting leftover crops from farmers' fields. This theme has been a recurring motif in art history, most famously depicted by Jean-François Millet in his painting "The Gleaners" (1857). Claus's interpretation of the subject is imbued with a sense of realism and empathy, reflecting the social conditions of rural life in the 19th century.

Measuring at a significant size, "The Gleaners" is notable for its use of color and light to convey the time of day and the season, with the warm tones suggesting the late afternoon sun of early autumn. The composition is balanced between the human figures and the expansive landscape, highlighting the connection between the peasants and their environment.

Emile Claus's "The Gleaners" is not only a testament to his mastery of Luminism but also serves as a social commentary on the hardships faced by the rural working class. The painting is held in high regard for its artistic merit and its poignant reflection of the human condition, making it an important work in the oeuvre of Emile Claus and a valuable piece in the history of Belgian art.
