The Harvesters
Pieter Bruegel the Elder painted The Harvesters in 1565 on an oak panel. Workers cut grain, rest, and eat in the foreground while fields, paths, buildings, and distant water extend the summer landscape. The Met’s credit line is “Rogers Fund, 1919.”

Ideas for use · AtriTrove editorial suggestions
Study how foreground labor, a middle-distance village, and the far horizon create depth in one continuous landscape. Map the paths of repeated yellow fields and small figures, or compare active and resting poses when discussing narrative. For close-up teaching details, identify the selected area and provide the complete image for context.
