"Les Matelassiers" is a notable painting by the French Neo-Impressionist artist Maximilien Luce, created in 1887. This work exemplifies Luce's commitment to the Pointillist technique, a method characterized by the application of small, distinct dots of color that are applied in patterns to form an image. Luce, who was deeply influenced by the socio-political climate of his time, often depicted scenes of everyday life and labor, and "Les Matelassiers" is a prime example of this thematic focus.

The painting portrays a group of mattress-makers, known as "matelassiers" in French, engaged in their craft. The scene is set in a modest, dimly lit interior, where the workers are absorbed in their meticulous task. Luce's use of Pointillism in this piece not only highlights the texture of the materials being worked on but also brings a luminous quality to the otherwise subdued environment. The careful arrangement of color dots creates a vibrant interplay of light and shadow, emphasizing the physicality and concentration of the workers.

"Les Matelassiers" is significant not only for its technical execution but also for its social commentary. At a time when industrialization was transforming the nature of work and society, Luce's focus on manual laborers serves as a poignant reminder of the human element within the broader socio-economic changes. The painting reflects Luce's anarchist beliefs and his empathy towards the working class, making it a powerful statement on the dignity of labor.

Maximilien Luce was a contemporary of Georges Seurat and Paul Signac, and he played a crucial role in the development of the Neo-Impressionist movement. His works, including "Les Matelassiers," are celebrated for their innovative use of color and light, as well as their profound humanism. Today, "Les Matelassiers" is regarded as an important work within Luce's oeuvre and a significant piece in the history of Neo-Impressionist art.
