"Le Soldat Laboureur" (The Soldier Ploughman) is a painting by the French artist Horace Vernet, created in 1820. This work is part of Vernet's extensive oeuvre, which often depicted military subjects and scenes of French heroism. "Le Soldat Laboureur" is particularly notable for its representation of the intersection between military life and agrarian existence, a theme that resonates with the post-Napoleonic era in which it was created.

The painting portrays a soldier who, having returned from war, has taken up the plough to till the land. This image serves as a powerful metaphor for the return to peace and the reintegration of soldiers into civilian life after the turmoil of the Napoleonic Wars. Vernet's work captures the dual identity of the soldier as both a warrior and a worker, highlighting the societal shift from conflict to reconstruction and the personal transformation of individuals who served in the military.

Horace Vernet was known for his historical accuracy and attention to detail, and "Le Soldat Laboureur" is no exception. The painting is characterized by its realistic depiction of the soldier's attire and the rural landscape, reflecting Vernet's commitment to portraying his subjects with authenticity. The artwork is imbued with a sense of tranquility and the dignity of labor, contrasting with the often glorified and dramatic battle scenes for which Vernet was also renowned.

"Le Soldat Laboureur" is held in high regard for its artistic merit and its poignant commentary on the societal changes of the time. It remains an important work within the context of 19th-century French painting, offering insight into the national psyche and the collective memory of the period following the Napoleonic Wars.
