"The Corn Harvest (August)" is a renowned oil painting by Pieter Bruegel the Elder, a pivotal figure in Dutch and Flemish Renaissance painting. Created in 1565, this work is part of a series of six paintings depicting different times of the year, a theme that was innovative for its focus on the rural life and landscapes rather than religious or mythological subjects. The series is often referred to as "The Months" or "The Seasons."

Measuring approximately 119 cm × 162 cm, "The Corn Harvest" is a testament to Bruegel's keen observation of peasant life and his ability to capture the essence of the agricultural calendar. The painting is set in the month of August, a time when the harvest was in full swing. It showcases a panoramic view of a Flemish village with peasants engaged in harvesting wheat, resting during their lunch break, and enjoying the fruits of their labor.

Bruegel's masterful use of color and composition brings to life the heat of the summer and the arduous work of the peasants, while also highlighting the beauty and abundance of the season. The painting's foreground features a detailed depiction of the workers and sheaves of wheat, while the background extends into a vast landscape with a river and distant blue mountains, demonstrating Bruegel's skill in creating depth and perspective.

"The Corn Harvest (August)" is celebrated for its realistic portrayal of peasant life, devoid of romanticism, and its reflection of the social and economic realities of the 16th century. The work is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York as part of the collection bequeathed by Mrs. H. O. Havemeyer in 1929. It remains an important piece of art history, offering insight into the rural life of the past and the artistic genius of Pieter Bruegel the Elder.
