"Le Semeur" (The Sower) is an oil painting by the French realist artist Léon Augustin Lhermitte, created in 1887. The painting is one of Lhermitte's most celebrated works and exemplifies his commitment to depicting rural life and labor with dignity and realism. It portrays a peasant sower casting seeds into the furrowed earth, a subject that echoes the works of other artists like Jean-François Millet, who also highlighted the nobility of agricultural work.

Lhermitte was renowned for his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the effects of light on the landscape and figures. In "Le Semeur," he demonstrates these skills with a keen observation of the sower's gesture and the play of light on his form, as well as the surrounding landscape. The painting's composition, with the sower centrally placed against the expansive backdrop of the field, emphasizes the significance of human labor in harmony with nature.

The work is a testament to Lhermitte's mastery of the naturalist style, and it reflects the broader 19th-century interest in the lives of peasants and rural workers. "Le Semeur" has been praised for its empathetic portrayal of the working class and is considered an important contribution to the genre of social realism.

"Le Semeur" has been exhibited in various art institutions and has been part of public and private collections. It continues to be studied and admired for its technical proficiency and its poignant representation of the human condition within the rural landscape of the time. The painting stands as a significant example of Lhermitte's work and of the realist movement in French art during the late 19th century.
