Painting Description
"Les Glaneuses" (The Gleaners) is an iconic oil painting by French artist Jean-François Millet, completed in 1857. The artwork is renowned for its realistic portrayal of rural life in 19th-century France, specifically focusing on the laborious task of gleaning - the act of collecting leftover crops from farmers' fields after they have been harvested. The painting is currently housed in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, France.
Millet's "Les Glaneuses" is considered a pioneering work in the Realist art movement, which sought to depict the everyday lives of ordinary people, often highlighting the harsh realities of the working class. The painting measures 33.1 by 43.7 inches and features three peasant women bending over to pick up the stray stalks of wheat left behind after the harvest. The women are depicted in the foreground, with the harvested field stretching out behind them, and the setting sun and the silhouette of the landowner's house in the distance.
The painting caused controversy upon its exhibition, as it was seen as a social commentary on the disparity between the rural poor and the landowning class. Despite the controversy, "Les Glaneuses" has been celebrated for its empathetic portrayal of the working class and its technical mastery, and it remains one of Millet's most recognized and influential works.
