Title[edit]

No mention of the original title whatsovever ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.194.16.158 (talk) 23:07, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I've added it to the article. Korg (talk) 00:42, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If Millet's title is Des Glaneuses, then the real English translation is Gleaners, not The Gleaners. Not this this matters one whit. --Wetman (talk) 05:52, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Banksy version[edit]

Strange that there's no even a mention of this, given how popular it is. --195.151.49.57 (talk) 11:23, 2 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Picture of the day

The Gleaners is an oil painting by Jean-François Millet completed in 1857. It depicts three peasant women gleaning stray stalks of wheat from a field after the harvest. The painting, with its sympathetic depiction of what were then the lowest ranks of rural society, was received poorly by the French upper classes, but today is Millet's best known work.Painting: Jean-François Millet
