Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the life and work of Jean-François Millet, a pivotal figure in the Barbizon School, a group of French landscape painters who emerged in the mid-19th century. The author traces Millet's artistic journey, from his humble beginnings as a peasant's son to his rise as a renowned painter. Millet's profound connection to the rural world and his empathy for the peasantry are central themes in his art. His paintings capture the dignity and resilience of ordinary people, often depicted in scenes of everyday rural life. By portraying the beauty and hardships of peasant existence, Millet challenged the prevailing artistic conventions of his time. The book also explores Millet's role in the development of landscape painting. Breaking away from the idealized, romanticized landscapes of earlier artists, Millet focused on the authentic and intimate portrayal of nature. His works, characterized by their atmospheric light and somber palette, offer a unique perspective on the French countryside. Ultimately, this book provides a comprehensive examination of Millet's artistic legacy and his enduring impact on art history. Through Millet's eyes, readers gain a deeper understanding of the social and cultural transformations that shaped 19th-century France.
