Jean François Millet
1814–1875 · Barbizon School, Realism · 20 works
Millet gave rural workers a sustained place in painting. After settling in Barbizon, he developed scenes of labor and everyday life that brought figures and landscape together. A portrait joins the agricultural subjects here, preserving the range of works the museum associates with the Barbizon School.
