Jean-François Millet

Jean-François Millet, with a rural background, masterfully worked in oil painting, pastels, Conté crayon, and etching. She embraced Realism, using earthy colors and gentle brushwork to capture the dignity and hardship of peasant life, while later exploring pure landscapes. Her works stir deep empathy and reverence for the quiet perseverance of humanity and the enduring beauty of the natural world.
