Millet, The Gleaners
These three women are gleaners, which means that they are going out into the field after the harvest and basically picking up the leftovers of corn in this case that have fallen.발음듣기
You can see the great grain stacks in the distance and you can see a grain [?] or wagon really piled high.발음듣기
You can see the main, I almost want to say army of harvesters in the distance all bent over in this back-breaking work.발음듣기
But then in the foreground at some real distance from the main enterprise, you see these three women working in a kind of solitary way and one imagines their destitution.발음듣기
You can see the small bundles to their right that they have gathered as they clutch what they have found.발음듣기
Woman: Yeah, very, very small compared to the enormous harvest that has been yielded in the background.발음듣기
It's interesting because these women are large and substantial and in the foreground and clearly in that sense important monumentally even.발음듣기
But in a diminished scale, because they're far away, we have again the main enterprise and we have the people working,발음듣기
but then we have what seems to be a supervisor on horseback overseeing that operation, not even paying attention to these women, who are doing something so unimportant that it doesn't even bear his notice.발음듣기
Woman: When this painting was shown in the salon, it was criticized because it made people in the city in Paris who were at the salon have a sense of fearfulness of what would happen if people like this in these circumstances were radicalized and mobilized as they had been in the Revolution of 1848.발음듣기
There was something about these women that although we may see them as terribly sad and downtrodden, there was something about them in 1857 that was frightening to the Parisian populous.발음듣기
He has rendered these women doing this back-breaking labor right before us, but they're not in rags.발음듣기
There is something lovely and beautiful about the composition at the very same time that we have this image of back-breaking labor.발음듣기
So perhaps Millet is giving us this very difficult image, but it's not as difficult as it could have been.발음듣기
