"La Moisson: A Timeless Celebration of Abundance and Hard Work" Step into the enchanting world of "La Moisson, " a captivating collection of artworks that pay homage to the timeless tradition of harvesting. From c. 1895 pen & ink drawings with lead white gouache on paper, to vellum masterpieces by the Rhine School, this exhibition showcases the beauty and significance of The Harvest. One cannot help but be mesmerized by the Illustrated calendar for the Parisian department store La Belle Jardiniere, where each month is brought to life through vibrant depictions of bountiful fields and diligent workers. In particular, "The Harvest" oil painting on canvas captures nature's abundance in all its glory. Delving deeper into history, we encounter a detailed glimpse into rural life with "Harvesting, Rhine School (vellum) (detail of 226142)" and Fol. 58v July: The Harvest (vellum). These intricate works transport us back centuries ago when reapers labored under scorching suns to bring forth sustenance for their communities. Even ancient civilizations recognized the importance of harvest time as depicted in Reaper: June from a statuary calendar of the Labours of the Months, c. 1200 (stone). This stone engraving immortalizes an essential part of human existence - tending to crops that sustain us throughout seasons. As we explore further within this exhibition's walls, our senses are captivated by various mediums such as oil on canvas or engravings. Each artwork tells its own story – whether it be The Harvest from 1895 or Harvesting at Montfoucault in 1876 – they all share one common theme: celebrating nature's generosity and mankind's hard work. Join us as we immerse ourselves in these breathtaking portrayals that remind us not only about our agricultural roots but also about unity forged through shared labor.
