"Les Glaneuses" (The Gleaners) is a notable painting by the French realist artist Léon Augustin Lhermitte, created in 1887. This masterpiece is celebrated for its meticulous depiction of rural life, specifically focusing on the age-old practice of gleaning - the act of collecting leftover crops from farmers' fields after they have been commercially harvested. Lhermitte, born in Mont-Saint-Père, Aisne, in 1844, was renowned for his profound empathy and detailed portrayal of peasant life, and "Les Glaneuses" stands as a quintessential example of his dedication to capturing the essence of rural existence.

The painting is remarkable for its realistic representation, attention to detail, and the way it conveys the harsh realities faced by the rural poor, while also highlighting their dignity and resilience. Lhermitte's use of light and shadow, along with his ability to capture the textures of the landscape and the figures within it, demonstrates his mastery of the realist style. "Les Glaneuses" not only showcases Lhermitte's technical skill but also reflects the social and economic conditions of the time, making it an important work of social commentary.

Housed in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, "Les Glaneuses" is part of a rich collection of 19th-century French art, standing alongside works by other prominent artists who depicted rural and working-class life, such as Jean-François Millet and Gustave Courbet. Lhermitte's work has been influential in the development of realism in art, and "Les Glaneuses" remains a powerful testament to his legacy as one of the foremost painters of the French rural landscape. Through this painting, Lhermitte invites viewers to reflect on the themes of labor, poverty, and the enduring spirit of the human condition, making it a timeless piece that continues to resonate with audiences today.
