The Gleaners by Jean-François Millet

The Gleaners (1857)

Jean-François Millet | Realism | Oil on canvas

Three women bend down to pick up leftover grain from a harvested field. Far behind them, a rich harvest glows in the sunlight!

Did you know? In 1857, some wealthy critics were alarmed that such a big painting made poor workers look so important. One grumbled that the gleaners had "gigantic pretensions." In 1889 it sold for 300,000 francs, 100 times the 3,000 francs Millet got for it!
