Les Batteleurs 19th-20th century

"Les Batteleurs" (The Threshers), a 19th-20th century print by Manuel Robbe, depicts a group of laborers working in a field. The image showcases the artist's use of muted tones and soft brushstrokes to capture the sense of toil and the vastness of the landscape. This print, currently located at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, offers a glimpse into the daily lives of rural workers during this period. The subject of agricultural labor was a popular theme in Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art, and Robbe's work effectively captures the gritty reality of this work.
