"La Mort et le Bûcheron" (Death and the woodcutter)
Jean François Millet
French artist. A leading member of the Barbizon School, he painted
scenes of peasant life and landscapes. The Angelus (1859; Musée
d'Orsay, Paris) and The Gleaners (1857; Louvre, Paris) were widely
reproduced in his day. Born in Normandy of a peasant family, he went to
Paris to study in 1837. After a long struggle to earn a living by
painting shepherdesses and nude bathers in the 18th-century style
galant, he found his true vein in The Winnower of 1848. He settled at
the village of Barbizon 1849, with his second wife and growing family,
and there, still in poverty, devoted himself exclusively to the
paintings of peasant life for which he is famous, such as The Reapers
1854, The Gleaners 1857, and The Angelus 1859. grubby will try to send
