"The Gleaners" (French: "Des glaneuses") is a seminal work by the French painter Jean-François Millet, completed in 1857. It is widely regarded as one of his most famous and influential pieces, embodying the Realist movement of the 19th century. The painting is housed in the Musée d'Orsay, Paris, since its acquisition from the Louvre Museum in 1986. Millet's masterpiece measures 83.8 cm by 111.8 cm and is executed in oil on canvas.

The artwork depicts three peasant women gleaning a field of stray grains of wheat after the harvest. The scene is set against a vast landscape that emphasizes the laborious task at hand, underlining the hard life faced by peasants. Millet's focus on the lower class was groundbreaking at the time and stirred both admiration and controversy. He portrayed the gleaners with dignity and grace, elevating a mundane task into a moment of profound significance, which was a departure from the traditional representations of the rural poor.

"The Gleaners" is celebrated for its technical prowess, the depth of its social commentary, and its pivotal role in the Realist movement. Millet's use of color, light, and composition brings forward the physicality of the work and the solemnity of the gleaners' task. The painting is a poignant exploration of themes such as poverty, social inequality, and the human condition, making it a critical work in Millet's oeuvre and a landmark in the history of art. Through "The Gleaners," Millet not only captured a moment in rural 19th-century France but also commented on the timeless and universal struggle of the working poor, earning the painting its place as a masterpiece of social realism.
