Hippolyte Petitjean, a French painter associated with the Neo-Impressionist movement, created "Les Meules" (The Haystacks) as a testament to his mastery of the Pointillist technique. Born in 1854, Petitjean was a contemporary of Georges Seurat and Paul Signac, and he adopted their innovative approach to painting, which involved applying small, distinct dots of color to form an image when viewed from a distance. "Les Meules" exemplifies Petitjean's dedication to this meticulous method and his ability to capture the subtleties of light and atmosphere.

The painting depicts a rural scene, likely inspired by the French countryside, where haystacks stand prominently against a serene landscape. Petitjean's use of vibrant, yet harmonious colors and his precise application of paint create a luminous effect, drawing the viewer into the tranquil setting. The haystacks, rendered with meticulous detail, become focal points that guide the eye through the composition, while the surrounding fields and sky are imbued with a sense of calm and timelessness.

"Les Meules" not only showcases Petitjean's technical skill but also reflects the broader artistic trends of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Neo-Impressionists sought to bring a scientific rigor to their work, influenced by contemporary theories of color and optics. Petitjean's adherence to these principles is evident in the careful modulation of hues and the structured yet dynamic composition of the painting.

Although Petitjean did not achieve the same level of fame as some of his peers, his contributions to the Neo-Impressionist movement are significant. "Les Meules" stands as a testament to his artistic vision and his ability to convey the beauty of the natural world through the innovative techniques of his time.
