LE SPIGOLATRICI

Description

The painting of The Gleaners by the French painter Jean-François Millet (1814-1875) is considered to be one of the greatest masterpieces of 19th century Realism, both in terms of the social theme and the style used by the artist. Millet, faithful to his favourite theme, peasant life, entrusted this painting with the result of ten years' research into the theme of the gleaners, the symbol of the rural proletariat.
