"The Grain Harvest" is a painting by Pieter Bruegel the Elder and was one of a series of six seasons paintings commissioned by an art dealer. In the picture, the color yellow dominates, especially because of the large cornfield in the center of the picture, which has a very calming effect. A slender pear tree divides the painting in proportion to the golden ratio. You see people working, eating, sleeping or bathing. It is very detailed and so you can see for example in the left part of the picture in the background a pond in which monks bathe. The effect of this image on the viewer is really impressive.
