The Labour Day is celebrated on May 1 of each year in many countries of the world to remember the commitment of the trade union movement and the achievements of the workers in the economic and social field.<\/p>\n

The festival recalls the struggles of the workers, in particular those aimed at the conquest of a precise right: the daily working time fixed in eight hours. The origin of the Festival dates back to an event organized in New York on September the 5th, 1882 by the Knights of Labor, an association founded in 1869.
\nTwo years later, in 1884, in a similar event the Knights of Labor passed a resolution that the event should have an annual frequency.<\/p>\n

Before this important date many artists denounced through their works the exploitation and the conditions in which the workers lived in the different epochs.

The Third-class Carriage <\/em><\/strong>del pittore francese Honor\u00e9 Daumier<\/a>
\nNational Gallery of Canada di Ottawa<\/em>
\nIn the style of Honor\u00e9 Daumier, who made his art an instrument of political struggle, this painting of 1862, denounces the social conditions of the poorest classes and underlines the clear gap between the weak, Tired women and children close-up and the powerful in the back seats.<\/p>\n

The potato eaters<\/strong> del pittore olandese\u00a0Vincent Van Gogh<\/a>
\nMuseo Van Gogh di Amsterdam
\n<\/em>Inside a poor room, some peasants who eat the evening meal using a single plate of potatoes, while one of them is pouring coffee. Van Gogh is very attached to this subject as he feels like one of them. Even peasants like him suffer and he finds it unfair that despite all their efforts and sacrifices they must live so miserably.<\/p>\n

Il quarto stato<\/strong> del pittore italiano\u00a0Giuseppe Pellizza da Volpedo<\/a>
\nMuseo del Novecento di Milano
\n<\/em>L\u2019opera, divenuta manifesto della lotta operaia, rappresenta la conclusione di un percorso dell\u2019autore attraverso numerosi dipinti tutti riguardanti il medesimo tema, ovvero lo sciopero dei lavoratori. Quest\u2019opera \u00e8 un simbolo della societ\u00e0 del XX secolo, poich\u00e9 essa rappresenta lo sciopero dei lavoratori e simboleggia non solo la protesta sociale ma l\u2019affermazione di una nuova classe sociale, il proletariato, che diventa consapevole dei propri diritti nei confronti della societ\u00e0 industriale.<\/p>\n

The Anatomy Lesson of Dr Nicolaes Tulp<\/strong> del pittore olandese Rembrandt<\/em><\/a>
\nMuseo Mauritshuis dell\u2019Aia<\/em>
\nDr Tulp\u2019s gesture is very similar to that of a painter holding the brush between his fingers. Rembrandt emphasizes the technical and challenging similarities between medicine and painting, and wants to be a praise for both.<\/p>\n
