Le Remouleur, also known as The Knife Grinder, is a notable painting by the French Neo-Impressionist artist Maximilien Luce. Created in 1896, this work exemplifies Luce's commitment to depicting the everyday lives of the working class, a theme that runs consistently throughout his oeuvre. Luce, who was deeply influenced by the political and social movements of his time, often used his art to highlight the dignity and struggles of laborers.

The painting portrays a knife grinder at work, a common sight in the streets of Paris during the late 19th century. The figure is depicted with meticulous attention to detail, emphasizing the physicality and concentration required for his trade. The composition is marked by Luce's characteristic use of Pointillism, a technique he adopted from his association with Georges Seurat and Paul Signac. This method involves the application of small, distinct dots of color that blend in the viewer's eye to create a luminous effect.

Le Remouleur is celebrated for its vibrant color palette and dynamic composition. The interplay of light and shadow, achieved through the Pointillist technique, imbues the scene with a sense of immediacy and realism. The background, though less detailed, provides a contextual setting that enhances the narrative of the central figure's laborious task.

Maximilien Luce's work is often associated with the broader Neo-Impressionist movement, which sought to bring scientific rigor and a modern sensibility to the art of painting. However, Luce's unique focus on social realism sets him apart from his contemporaries. Le Remouleur stands as a testament to his ability to merge technical innovation with poignant social commentary, making it a significant piece in the study of both Neo-Impressionism and the history of labor in art.
