"Calling in of the Gleaners" is a notable painting by the French artist Jules Breton, created in 1859. This work is emblematic of the 19th-century Realism movement, which sought to depict everyday life and the working conditions of the rural peasantry with a sense of authenticity and empathy. The painting measures 84 x 111.5 cm and is currently housed in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, France, a testament to its significance in the canon of French art.

The painting captures a serene, yet poignant moment in the rural landscape of 19th-century France, focusing on the age-old practice of gleaning—the collection of leftover crops from farmers' fields after the harvest. This practice was a vital means of survival for the poor, and Breton's depiction elevates this humble labor to a subject worthy of artistic consideration. The composition is centered around the figure of a woman, presumably the overseer or landowner, calling in the gleaners as the day ends, a moment underscored by the warm glow of the setting sun that bathes the scene.

Breton's work is characterized by its detailed realism, capturing not only the physical likeness of his subjects but also imbuing the scene with a sense of dignity and grace. "Calling in of the Gleaners" is no exception, as it reflects the artist's deep connection to and respect for the rural life of his native France. The painting is celebrated for its technical skill, particularly in the rendering of light and the landscape, as well as its emotional depth and social commentary.

As a leading figure in the Realist movement, Jules Breton's contributions, including "Calling in of the Gleaners," have been influential in shaping the portrayal of rural life in art. His works are often seen as a bridge between the traditional pastoral scenes of earlier periods and the more socially conscious art of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. "Calling in of the Gleaners" remains a poignant reminder of the hardships of rural life, as well as a testament to the enduring spirit and dignity of those who toil within it.
