About

 

 

Jean-Francois Millet (1814-1875)

Of all the artists discussed in this series, Kenneth Clark regards Millet as perhaps the most difficult to place.  His subjects are intensely Romantic, but his treatment of the human figure is entirely Classical.  His ability to fuse these qualities resulted in his greatest achievement, the creation of popular and enduring images.
