"Gathering Lilies of the Valley 1886" is a painting by the French realist artist Léon Augustin Lhermitte. Created in 1886, this work exemplifies Lhermitte's dedication to depicting rural life and labor with a sense of dignity and natural beauty. The painting portrays peasant figures in a serene, sunlit forest, engaged in the delicate task of gathering lilies of the valley. Lhermitte's mastery in rendering the play of light and shadow, as well as his attention to the minute details of the natural world, is evident in this piece.

Lhermitte, born in 1844 in Mont-Saint-Père, Aisne, was renowned for his pastoral scenes that often highlighted the nobility of peasant life. He was associated with the Barbizon School, a group of artists who eschewed the romanticized classical subjects of the time in favor of more direct studies of nature and rural subjects. "Gathering Lilies of the Valley 1886" reflects the Barbizon School's influence and Lhermitte's own commitment to naturalism, capturing a moment of everyday life with a profound sense of realism.

The painting is notable for its fine brushwork and the artist's use of light, which imbues the scene with a sense of tranquility and timelessness. Lhermitte's work was well-received in his time, and he was awarded the Légion d'honneur in 1884, two years before completing this painting. "Gathering Lilies of the Valley 1886" remains a significant example of Lhermitte's oeuvre and an important work within the canon of 19th-century French realism. It continues to be studied and admired for its technical proficiency and its evocative portrayal of rural life.
