1850 -1900 · Rural hours, sky and work
Breton measures the day by the light on the fields and bodies: dawn, shepherd's star, rainbow and evening transform the work calendar into atmospheric poetry.
Jules Breton precisely observes the hours surrounding rural work. Dawn accompanies departure towards the fields, while the end of the day brings together the figures on the way back. These moments give oblique light, elongated shadows and a range of roses, oranges or blues which unite sky and earth. The Shepherd's Star places a point of light above a still readable scene, between activity and contemplation. The rainbow of Courrières or lightning introduces a sudden phenomena which modify the familiar landscape. The evening gradually reduces the details and gives more space to the silhouette. Even a fire in a haystack becomes an exceptional source of light, more dramatic than the sun. Breton does not paint the weather for itself: each effect regulates the social time, the visibility of the gesture and the return home. His naturalism remains built for the Salon, but he retains a lived knowledge of agricultural rhythms. The selection "Evening, dawn and light effects by Jules Breton" notably compares Dawn and The Shepherd's Star. His reading favors the story.
Breton light indicates as much an hour of work as a color of the sky: it connects the human calendar to the atmosphere.
