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.
