Jean-Francois Millet oil paintings

Jean-Francois Millet , French oil painting artist, [1814-75]. renowned for his peasant subjects which from the early 1850s were to be Millet’s principal concern, made their first important appearance at the Salon of 1848 with “The Winnower,” later destroyed by fire. In 1849, after a period of great hardship, Millet left Paris to settle in Barbizon, a small hamlet in the forest of Fontainebleau. He continued to exhibit paintings of peasants, and, as a result, periodically faced the charge of being a socialist. Letters of the period defending Millet's position underline the fundamentally classical nature of his approach to painting.
