The painting "The Harvesters" by Pieter Bruegel the Elder illustrates humanist ideals by concentrating on the daily lives and experiences of ordinary people, rather than religious or mythical subjects. Humanism during the Renaissance emphasized the value and agency of human beings and their activities, and Bruegel's focus on the peasants' work and rest reflects this focus on human experience and the dignity of everyday life.
