Le Retour is a notable painting by the French Neo-Impressionist artist Maximilien Luce, created in 1898. Luce, a prominent figure in the Neo-Impressionist movement, was known for his dedication to the technique of Pointillism, a method characterized by the application of small, distinct dots of color that blend in the viewer's eye to form an image. This technique was pioneered by Georges Seurat and Paul Signac, with whom Luce was closely associated.

The painting, whose title translates to "The Return" in English, captures a poignant moment of everyday life, reflecting Luce's interest in the lives of the working class and his commitment to social realism. The scene depicts workers returning home after a long day of labor, a common theme in Luce's oeuvre, which often highlighted the dignity and struggles of the proletariat. The composition is marked by its meticulous attention to detail and the harmonious interplay of light and color, hallmarks of the Pointillist technique.

Luce's use of color in Le Retour is particularly noteworthy. He employs a palette of muted tones, interspersed with brighter hues, to convey the fading light of the evening and the weariness of the workers. The careful placement of each dot of color creates a sense of depth and movement, drawing the viewer into the scene and evoking a sense of empathy for the subjects.

Le Retour is not only a testament to Luce's technical skill but also to his deep social conscience. Through this work, Luce offers a glimpse into the lives of the working class at the turn of the 20th century, capturing both their hardships and their resilience. The painting remains an important piece within the Neo-Impressionist canon and continues to be celebrated for its artistic and historical significance.
