"Les Meules, Circa 1900" is a notable painting by the French artist Léon Augustin Lhermitte, who is renowned for his realistic depictions of rural life and labor. Lhermitte, born on July 31, 1844, in Mont-Saint-Père, Aisne, France, was a prominent figure in the naturalist movement and is often celebrated for his ability to capture the essence of peasant life with meticulous detail and empathy.

The painting "Les Meules" (translated as "The Haystacks") exemplifies Lhermitte's mastery in portraying the rural landscape and the daily activities of the working class. Created around 1900, this work reflects the artist's deep connection to the French countryside and his commitment to depicting the dignity and resilience of rural laborers. The scene typically features haystacks, which were a common sight in the agricultural regions of France during this period, symbolizing the harvest season and the hard work of the farmers.

Lhermitte's technique in "Les Meules" is characterized by his use of natural light and a muted color palette, which enhances the realism and atmospheric quality of the scene. His attention to detail is evident in the textures of the haystacks, the clothing of the figures, and the surrounding landscape. The composition often includes figures engaged in various tasks related to the harvest, providing a narrative element that invites viewers to contemplate the rhythms of rural life.

Throughout his career, Lhermitte received numerous accolades for his work, including medals at the Salon and the Legion of Honor. His paintings, including "Les Meules," continue to be appreciated for their historical significance and their poignant portrayal of a way of life that has largely disappeared. Lhermitte's work remains an important part of the canon of 19th and early 20th-century French art, offering valuable insights into the social and cultural history of the period.
