Original – Bruegel’s series is a watershed in the history of western art, and expression of a new humanism, giving an unidealized description of the local scene, based on natural observations.

Reason

It's great, I checked criteria. The Harvesters is an oil on wood painting by Pieter Brueghel the Elder in 1565, representing July–August. This panel belongs to a series, showing the times of the year, commissioned by the Antwerp merchant Niclaes Jongelinck for his residential home.
