Jean-François Millet

French, 1814–1875

Jean-François Millet (1814–1875) war ein französischer Maler und ein Gründer der Barbizon-Schule im ländlichen Frankreich. Er war bekannt für seine Darstellungen von Bauern und war mit der Realismus-Bewegung verbunden. Millet wuchs in einer Bauernfamilie in der Normandie auf, und seine Vertrautheit mit der ländlichen Arbeit beeinflusste seine Kunst. Er arbeitete mit Öl, Pastellen, Conté-Bleistift und Radierung und konzentrierte sich später in seiner Karriere mehr auf Landschaften.
