"In 1849, French realist painter Jean-Francois Millet (1814-1875) settled in Barbizon after years of travel and began to paint the rustic figures, forms, and landscapes that would come to mark the pinnacle of his artistic achievements. These paintings, often melancholy and earthy in their grey, brown and bluish colors, are among the most famous and haunting depictions of rural life in the 19th century. This volume, filled with pastels and drawing of his work, provides vivid insight into his methods, techniques, and work."
