Les Maçons, also known as The Builders, is a notable painting by the Swiss-born French artist Théophile Alexandre Steinlen, who is widely recognized for his contributions to the Art Nouveau movement and his depictions of Parisian life. Created in 1896, this work exemplifies Steinlen's keen observation of the working class and his ability to capture the essence of everyday labor with both empathy and realism.

The painting portrays a group of masons engaged in the construction of a building, a common sight in the rapidly modernizing Paris of the late 19th century. Steinlen's attention to detail is evident in the depiction of the workers' physical exertion and the tools of their trade. The composition is dynamic, with a strong diagonal line created by the scaffolding and the positioning of the figures, which draws the viewer's eye across the canvas and emphasizes the collaborative effort of the laborers.

Steinlen's use of color and light in Les Maçons is particularly noteworthy. The earthy tones of the workers' clothing and the building materials contrast with the brighter, almost luminous background, suggesting the early morning or late afternoon light. This interplay of light and shadow not only enhances the three-dimensionality of the scene but also imbues it with a sense of time and place, grounding the viewer in the reality of the workers' environment.

Les Maçons is a testament to Steinlen's commitment to social realism and his ability to elevate the mundane aspects of daily life to the level of fine art. Through this painting, Steinlen not only documents the physicality and camaraderie of manual labor but also pays homage to the often-overlooked contributions of the working class to the urban landscape. The painting remains an important piece within Steinlen's oeuvre and a significant example of late 19th-century realist art.
