Jean-François Millet was a French painter working in the stream of Realism. In his works, he focused on depicting the people of the countryside during their everyday work, putting an emphasis on the relationship between man and nature and folk piety.

The canvas paintings kept in muted colour pallet will adorn your space and help you create a pleasant atmosphere.

Paintings by Jean Francois Millet

Jean-François Millet and his paintings had an incredibly huge impact on the development of the realistic painting trend. This French painter and graphic artist who lived and worked in the 19th century came from a typical peasant family, which undoubtedly reflects in his work. It is also the answer to the question why he found himself so well in realism. He quickly abandoned his initial attempts to create portraits, landscapes and even mythological scenes in favor of creating realistic works. His work is mainly based on transferring everyday human activities onto canvas. Along with their sorrows, problems and concerns. That is why Jean Francois Millet in his paintings very often depicts people working in the field, their life on the farm, and everyday home activities. Such compositions suggest that Millet often drew on his own experience in his work, painting motifs that were particularly close to him.


 

Reproductions of Jean Francois Millet's works

Jean-François Millet's paintings, like other works by realism representatives, are characterized by very subdued colors and a traditional, even inconspicuous combination of colors. Such colors perfectly emphasize the theme and a certain "simplicity" of the images. Reproductions of Jean Francois Millet's works are above all a proposition for those who are looking for accessories that emphasize the classical interior design. Hanged in the living room behind the sofa or next to the fireplace, they will certainly become the subject of conversation during social gatherings. They will look great individually, and several reproductions of paintings will create an equally interesting composition on the staircase between the floors. Such a reproduction is also a great gift idea for art lovers.
