Emigrants is a 1910 oil by Antonio Rocco, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Pinacoteca de São Paulo.
The painting shows a group of people walking in the same direction, carrying bags and bundles. They are dressed in worn clothing and appear to be traveling together. The scene is set against a backdrop of a building with a corrugated metal wall. The people in the painting are shown in various poses, with some looking down at the ground and others gazing ahead. The artist has used earthy tones to depict the scene, with shades of brown and gray dominating the palette. The painting's focus on everyday life and the struggles of the working class is reminiscent of the works of other artists who explored similar themes.
