Painting
Although he was of the same generation as Monet and Renoir, Lhermitte chose to follow the path of traditional realism, rather than the Impressionists' experimentation with color. He did practice the fluid brushwork that they had popularized, however. Like Sorolla... Lhermitte specialized in scenes of rural workers. However, his keen eye caught the contrasting colors and textures of sun-bathed landscape and figures in much greater detail. Sorolla concentrated more on the colors and effect of the light rather than on the details of form.
