Modest HuysThe Harvest
About the Item
Farmhands working in a field on a hot summer's day.
Building on iconic depictions of farmworkers by Millet, Huys sought to imbue his figures with a sensitivity and reverence that previous artists had rarely afforded them.
By portraying the dignity of their work, Huys challenged the prevailing notion that manual labor was an occupation unsuitable for the canvas. Depicted from a low angle, the workers in Huys’ Harvest are given a certain monumentality, standing out from the landscape they inhabit. Resting on a stick or raising up a bundle of hay, they assume almost sculptural poses, undiminished by their labours.
While the painting is suffused with a brilliant light, Huys has chosen to capture the glow of the late afternoon, thereby softening the heat of the sun: Yellows and oranges mix with cooling purples and opals as shadows begin to extend, further silhouetting the central figures.

- Bords de l'Eure pres de CocherelBy Georges Charles RobinLocated in London, GBRecognised as one of the best post-impressionist artists, Robin's skill and complete command of his palette set him aside from his contemporaries. Combining his deft and delicate touch with vigorous, dramatic brush strokes and palette knife work, he produced exceptional paintings. Enthralled by the enchanting river valleys of rural France that flowed through the luxuriant countryside and rolling fields, Robin's paintings perfectly capture rustic and typical French life. Feted by the French artistic establishment and his many patrons during his lifetime, the multitude of awards that Robin garnered for his work illustrates the acclaim in which he was held.
