Features: Millet is an outstanding representative of 19th-century Realist painting. He spent his childhood and youth in the countryside, gaining a deep understanding and profound connection with rural life and the people who worked there. He knew their joys and sorrows, and shared their beliefs and prejudices, which made him a great pastoral painter. Millet's famous works, such as The Reaper, The Gleaners, and The Angelus, are filled with affection for rural life. He once said, "I was born knowing only the land, so I faithfully depicted what I saw and felt while working on it." Millet's art is subtle and profound, rich in philosophical insights. This collection compiles his life's works, provides a brief introduction to his career and art, and includes translations of Romain Rolland's The Life of Millet, making it a comprehensive and well-documented collection of Millet's art.
