The Gleaners

Here it is springtime, sowing time, but I had to post a picture of one of my favorites, a painting by Jean-Francois Millet, THE GLEANERS, a harvest time picture.  Just like His painting of THE SOWER I admire this painting very much.  These paintings by Millet are rich in artistic value, but richer in spiritual meaning.  Gleaning is a delight, and unless you have been poor or needy, you cannot understand the comfort being provided for makes.  Here there is not a lone gleaner, but a group, as it should be.
