《收割者》是尼德兰文艺复兴时期艺术家老彼得·勃鲁盖尔于1565年完成的一幅木板油画。它描绘了七八月间或夏末时节的收割景象。安特卫普的商人银行家兼艺术收藏家尼古拉斯·容赫林克委托创作了这幅画，作为描绘一年中不同季节更迭的六幅系列画作之一。
这幅画作原是安特卫普一位商人委托创作的六幅系列画作之一，描绘了一年四季的不同景象，挂在他乡间别墅的墙上。这幅画通常被认为描绘了七八月间时节的景象，展现了丰收时节慵懒的炎热。画中人物有的在田间劳作，有的则在打盹、吃东西，甚至还有人在远处裸泳。虽然这幅画显然取材于勃鲁盖尔对乡村生活周期的亲身观察，但它却将写实的细节描绘在一个不可能存在的景观之上：画面展现了从岬角眺望的广阔视野，而这种岬角在勃鲁盖尔的故乡弗兰德斯的低地地区是根本不存在的。
This painting originally belonged to a six-part series depicting different times of year that was commissioned by an Antwerp merchant for his country house. This particular scene, usually said to represent the months of July and August, revels in the drowsy heat of harvesttime. Some figures labor in the fields, but others doze, eat, or even skinny-dip (in the far background). While clearly based on Bruegel’s firsthand observation of the cycles of country life, the painting maps realistic detail onto an impossible landscape: it shows a wide-ranging vista from a promontory that could never exist in the lowlands of Bruegel’s native Flanders.
