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.

- Around the Camp Fire, 19th Century Oil Landscape Painting, Dated 1840Located in London, GBOil on canvas, signed bottom right and dated '1840' Image size: 22 x 30 inches (56 x 76.25 cm) Albert Bierstadt Recognized as the foremost painter of the American frontier during the nineteenth-century, Albert Bierstadt was born in Solingen, Germany, in 1830. At the age of two, he and his family emigrated to the United States, settling in New Bedford, Massachusetts. Nothing is known of his early art training; however, he might possibly have been influenced by local landscape painters. By the time he was twenty, he was supporting himself by teaching "monochromatic" painting and his work was beginning to attract the attention of New Bedford collectors. In 1853, Bierstadt traveled to Düsseldorf in order to broaden his art education. It was there that he was associated with such American artists as Worthington Whittredge and Carl Wimar, all of whom frequently gathered in the studio of the German-American history painter, Emanuel Leutze...Category
