Excerpt from J. F. Millet
Mais ce n'est cependant pas une péripétie vulgaire que cette lutte constante avec la nature, cette recherche incessante de la vérité, cette poursuite sans trêve d'un idéal de rendu qui traduira l'impression, et la fera éprouver au spectateur aussi vive, aussi profonde qu'elle aura été ressentie par l'artiste.
Ce paysan silencieux, chaussé de sabots, àla barbe grisonnante, au dos légèrement voûté, qui, planté debout dans un champ, digne des yeux et regarde les brouillards du Soir envelopper peu à peu la terre, est un peintre qui travaille, qui observe et demande à la nature les secrets de ses merveilleuses harmonies. La lutte est muette, elle est âpre cependant, et elle n'a cessé la veille que pour recommencer au point du jour.
