"The Recall of the Gleaners" is an oil painting by the French artist Jules Breton, completed in 1859. The painting is one of Breton's most celebrated works and exemplifies the 19th-century Realist movement, which sought to depict everyday life and the working conditions of rural laborers with sincerity and dignity. Measuring 84 x 111 cm, the artwork is housed in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, France.

The painting captures the moment at dusk when the gleaners, women who collected leftover grains after the harvest, are called back from the fields. The scene is set in the artist's native region of Courrières in northern France, a landscape that inspired much of his work. Breton's masterful use of light imbues the scene with a warm, golden glow, emphasizing the end of the day's labor and the setting sun's reflection on the figures and the field.

In "The Recall of the Gleaners," Breton portrays the gleaners with a sense of nobility and grace, elevating their humble task to a subject worthy of artistic representation. The central figure, a young woman standing with a horn used to signal the end of the workday, dominates the composition. Her pose and the clarity of light on her figure draw the viewer's eye, while the surrounding landscape and other figures contribute to the narrative of rural life and the communal nature of agricultural work.

The painting reflects themes common in Breton's oeuvre, including the idealization of peasant life and the exploration of rural customs and traditions. "The Recall of the Gleaners" is often discussed in the context of its social and historical significance, as it provides insight into the lives of the rural poor during a period of significant change in French society.

Breton's work has been both praised for its technical skill and beauty and critiqued for its romanticized view of peasant life. Nonetheless, "The Recall of the Gleaners" remains an important example of Realist art and a testament to Breton's enduring legacy as a painter who captured the essence of French rural existence in the 19th century.
