The Last Gleanings, 1895
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Jules Breton is a captivating oil painting that transports viewers to the rural countryside of France in the late 19th century. This stunning artwork, measuring 92.7x139.7 cm, depicts a group of weary female labourers returning from their day's work of gathering and harvesting crops at sunset. Breton, known for his realistic portrayals of peasant life, masterfully captures the essence of hard work and poverty in this piece. The elderly gleaners are shown carrying bundles of grain on their backs while trudging through a vast field. Their tired expressions and hunched postures reveal the physical toll that such laborious tasks have taken on them. The warm hues of the setting sun create an atmosphere filled with both tranquility and melancholy. As daylight fades away, these dedicated workers continue their tireless efforts to eke out a living from the land. "The Last Gleanings" serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by those who toiled in agricultural communities during this era. It pays homage to their resilience and unwavering commitment despite facing immense hardships. This remarkable print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate Breton's mastery firsthand and invites us into a world where beauty emerges amidst struggle and determination.
