"Corn Husking, 1885" is a painting by Simon Hollósy, a Hungarian realist painter known for his contributions to the Nagybánya artists' colony and his influence on modern Hungarian art. Born in 1857, Hollósy played a pivotal role in the development of Hungarian painting at the turn of the 20th century. "Corn Husking, 1885" is one of his works that exemplifies his commitment to depicting rural life and the everyday activities of peasants with a sense of realism and empathy.

The painting captures the scene of agricultural labor, specifically the task of husking corn, which is the process of removing the outer layers of leaves and silk from an ear of corn. The artwork is significant for its portrayal of the peasantry, a subject that gained prominence in the art of the period as part of a broader interest in realism and the social conditions of the time. Hollósy's technique, characterized by his use of natural light and shadow, as well as his attention to the physical and emotional details of his subjects, brings a sense of dignity and gravity to the otherwise mundane task of corn husking.

"Corn Husking, 1885" reflects Hollósy's dedication to plein air painting, a style he adopted and promoted among his students at the Nagybánya artists' colony, which he founded in 1896. The colony became a center for artists who sought to break away from the academic traditions of the time and embrace a more direct engagement with nature and rural life.

As a work of art, "Corn Husking, 1885" not only provides insight into the cultural and social history of rural Hungary but also stands as a testament to Hollósy's artistic legacy and his impact on the naturalist movement in Hungarian art. The painting remains an important piece in understanding the evolution of Hungarian realism and the broader European context in which it developed.
