"The Return of the Herd" (also known as "November") is a renowned 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 representing different times of the year, often referred to as "The Months" or "The Seasons." Bruegel's series is a monumental contribution to the genre of landscape painting, marking a significant departure from the religious and mythological subjects that dominated the art of the period.

The painting depicts a pastoral scene set in late autumn, with villagers and animals moving through a barren, leafless landscape, signaling the return of the herd from summer pastures. The composition is rich with the activities of rural life, as herders guide livestock across a river, and the cool, muted tones of the painting evoke the chill of the approaching winter. Bruegel's masterful use of perspective and his keen observation of everyday life imbue the work with a sense of realism and vitality that was groundbreaking for its time.

"The Return of the Herd" is celebrated for its detailed portrayal of peasant life and the natural world, reflecting Bruegel's interest in the rhythms of the seasons and the labors of the peasantry. The painting is also noted for its allegorical elements, as the changing seasons serve as a metaphor for the cycles of life and the passage of time.

Part of the collection of the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria, "The Return of the Herd" is widely regarded as one of Bruegel's masterpieces and a significant work in the history of Western art. Its influence can be seen in the works of later landscape painters, who drew inspiration from Bruegel's innovative approach to depicting the environment and the human relationship with nature.
