"Au retour de la moisson" (English: "Returning from the Harvest") is a notable painting by the French artist Julien Dupré (1851–1910), who was renowned for his realistic depictions of rural life in France during the late 19th century. Dupré's work is characterized by its focus on the lives of peasants, particularly their labor in the fields, and "Au retour de la moisson" is a prime example of this theme. The painting captures the moment when harvesters return from the fields, laden with the fruits of their labor, evoking themes of hard work, the agrarian cycle, and the connection between humans and the land.

Julien Dupré was part of the Realist movement, and his paintings often reflect the influence of his contemporaries, such as Jean-François Millet, known for "The Gleaners," and Jules Breton. Dupré's attention to detail, use of light, and the dignified representation of his subjects contribute to the enduring appeal of his work. "Au retour de la moisson" showcases his skill in portraying the textures of the natural world, from the heavy sheaves of grain to the weary but resilient figures of the workers.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its social commentary, as it reflects the realities of rural labor at a time when the agrarian lifestyle was undergoing significant changes due to industrialization and urbanization. By immortalizing the traditional harvest scene, Dupré's work serves as a historical record as well as an artistic achievement.

"Au retour de la moisson" remains an important work within Dupré's oeuvre and is often cited in discussions of Realist art and its portrayal of the French countryside. The painting is appreciated for its technical proficiency, its emotional resonance, and its place within the broader context of 19th-century French art. It continues to be studied and admired for its contribution to the genre of peasant genre painting and its reflection of the social and economic conditions of the time.
