Painting Description
''Le Spigolatrici'' (English: ''The Gleaners'') is an oil painting by the Italian artist Giovanni Fattori, a leading representative of the Macchiaioli movement, which was Italy's counterpart to the French Impressionists. Created in 1857, the painting is one of Fattori's early works and showcases his interest in depicting scenes of rural life and labor with a focus on the Tuscan landscape.
The painting measures 174 x 117 cm and is part of the collections of the Galleria d'Arte Moderna in Palazzo Pitti, Florence. ''Le Spigolatrici'' depicts three peasant women gleaning the remains of a wheat harvest, a subject that echoes the social realist themes popular among many 19th-century European artists, including Jean-François Millet, who famously painted ''The Gleaners'' in 1857 as well.
Fattori's composition is noted for its realistic portrayal of the Tuscan countryside and the backbreaking work of the gleaners. The artist employs a palette dominated by earthy tones, which is characteristic of the Macchiaioli's approach to emphasizing the effects of light and shadow – or 'macchie' (Italian for 'patches' or 'spots') – over the precision of line. The figures are integrated into the landscape, emphasizing their connection to the land and the harsh realities of rural labor.
The painting is significant for its historical and cultural context, as it reflects the socio-economic conditions of the time and the Macchiaioli's interest in the lives of ordinary people. Fattori's ''Le Spigolatrici'' is an important work in the canon of Italian art history, offering insight into the development of modern painting in Italy and the broader 19th-century European art movements that sought to capture the truth of contemporary life.
