Léon Augustin Lhermitte (1844 - 1925) was a French painter of Realism and closely related Naturalism. His preferred motifs were landscape scenes, often depicting simple peasant life. Lhermitte was born the son of a teacher in the Aisne region, north of Paris. At the age of 19 he went to Paris and studied at the École Impériale de Dessin. His teacher was the well-known painter Lequoc de Boisbaudran, who also taught Rodin. With him he attended the course "Drawing from memory". His first drawing was exhibited in the Paris Salon just one year later. Lhermitte had his big breakthrough with his first exhibited painting in 1866. During a visit to London in 1869 he met the painter Alphonse Legros, who finally introduced him to the art dealer Paul Durand-Ruel. Lhermitte's paintings sold extremely well in this gallery and were very well received.
Lhermitte received many awards during his career. For example, he was accepted into the Legion of Honour and his painting "The Harvest" was awarded a medal by the Paris Salon in 1874. The highlight of his career was the work "Payment of the Harvesters", published in 1882. Lhermitte had thus finally become a sought-after artist of his time. He had many admirers, including Rodin, Puvis de Chavannes and especially Vincent van Gogh. He was enthusiastic about the realistic representation of the figures in Lhermitte's paintings and his innovative use of pastel painting. Van Gogh is said to have once said about Lhermitte's works that he had not seen anything more beautiful for years. He also compared his technique of handling light and colours with that of Rembrandt.
Lhermitte, on the other hand, admired the French painter Jean-Francois Millet , who was also his greatest role model. The painting "The Gleaners" shows how strong the influence was. For it not only bears the same name as Millet's painting, but they show almost the same scene with similar constellations of figures. After the First World War, Lhermitte's health deteriorated and he was never particularly well. In his later years he was therefore too weak to work on larger projects. So in his last active years he devoted himself mainly to pastel painting. He died in his birthplace Mont-Saint-Père.
