Acerca de

The son of farmers, Jean-François Millet was devoted to cataloguig aspects of peasant life and preferred the village existence near the Forest of Fontainebleau to the art establishment of Paris. By the late 1870s, Millet and the like-minded painters known as the Barbizon group were gaining acceptance in exhibitions, with collectors, and in the eyes of the young impressionists, who admired the naturalness of their landscapes.

Jean-François Millet (French pronunciation: [ʒɑ̃ fʁɑ̃swa milɛ]; 4 October 1814 – 20 January 1875) was a French painter and one of the founders of the Barbizon school in rural France. Millet is noted for his paintings of peasant farmers and can be categorized as part of the Realism art movement. Toward the end of his career, he became increasingly interested in painting pure landscapes. He is known best for his oil paintings but is also noted for his pastels, Conté crayon drawings, and etchings.
