"The Harvesters" is a notable 1565 painting by the Flemish artist Pieter Bruegel the Elder, not Jan Brghel. One of his most revered works, this painting belongs to a series of six works, each detailing different times of the year. "The Harvesters" specifically represents the late summer/early fall season.

Measuring 119 cm × 161 cm, it is executed in oil on wood panels. It resides in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, having acquired by the museum in 1919 as a part of the Rogers Fund.

The painting provides a panoramic view of the countryside, filled with peasants engaging in the common agricultural activity of the period - harvesting wheat. The scenery unfolds under a vast and detailed sky, a characteristic element in Bruegel's work. He pays great attention to the activities of the peasants, showing them eating, working, and resting, integrating them harmoniously into the abundant, ripened grain fields.

Bruegel's choice to foreground the peasants and their work, rather than the nobility or religious themes, was groundbreaking for the period and marks "The Harvesters" as a significant work in the genre of genre painting. This humanistic portrayal of peasant life provides valuable insight into 16th-century rural life, societal structures, and labor relations. Bruegel's ability to blend in detailed observations, plethora of activities and atmospheric perspective illustrate his mastery in storytelling and composition.

"The Harvesters" is widely celebrated today for its detailed portrayal of the human relationship with nature, as well as its nuanced snapshot of agrarian life in Bruegel's time. It holds significant value for not just its artistic merits but also for its comprehensive pictorial documentation of historical societal norms.
