Léon-Augustin Lhermitte: La Famille
“By the time Lhermitte took up the harvesting themes and country market scenes that would make his name, the wide-spread antagonism that had greeted Jean-François Millet’s paintings of working peasants thirty years earlier had largely disappeared, dissipated by an improving rural economy and by a political climate that deliberately celebrated the peasant as a mainstay…
Léon-Augustin Lhermitte: The Little Goose Girl of Mézy
The Little Goose Girl of Mézy is Léon Lhermitte’s most important single-figure painting, a work that forthrightly declares its modernity in the directness of the young goose girl’s interaction with the viewer and in the slashing knife and brushwork that so tangibly conveys the stubbled grain field on which she stands…With her small bundle of…

Schubert: Ständchen from “Schwanengsang”
“October is an account of the bleak autumnal potato harvest, set in a bare, featureless landscape. October was painted at the artist’s native village of Damvillers, in the Meuse Valley to the northeast of Paris. Here, inspired by the example of Millet and Courbet, Bastien-Lepage had planned to paint rural life as he knew it,…
Gari Melchers: Young Mother (1892-5)
“In this poignant work entitled Young Mother, Gari Melchers portrays a mother and child, a favorite theme throughout the artist’s career, in a form suggestive of religious imagery. Evoking past images of the Madonna and Child and introducing the compositional device of a porcelain plate as a halo. Melchers creates a radiant image of a…
Jules Bastien-Lepage: Portrait of Sarah Bernhardt (1879)
“By its very nature, a profile is more intimate than a full face; we observe without being observed. The mask is not in place and the eyes do not distract. In this instance, they cast their gaze upon a sculpture as a connoisseur might, and the piece Mlle Bernhardt delicately fingers is that of Orpheus,…

Jules Bastien-Lepage: Joan of Arc (1879)
“As one of the Lorraine natives inspired by the sudden relevance of Joan of Arc’s image, Jules Bastien-Lepage in 1875 started sketches for this life-sized portrait of Joan of Arc showing her at the moment that she received her first call to arms against the English invaders of 1424. Bastien-Lepage captures the suddenness of the…

Gari Melchers: Sainte Gudule (c1897)
“Gari Melchers painted the present work as a representation of Saint Gudule, the patron saint of Brussels who was known for her piety and great generosity. According to legend, during Gudule’s early morning visits to the church in Moorsel, the devil would extinguish her candle, which proceeded to miraculously re-ignite as a result of her…
Léon Augustin Lhermitte: La vendange à Mont-Saint-Père
“La vendange à Mont-Saint-Père effectively combines all of the hallmarks of Lhermitte’s most sought-after works: peasants at work in an expansive landscape with multiple figures at various stages of the labor involved in bringing in a harvest of grapes. The composition is complex, with the placement of the figures carefully arranged in order to lead…
