Jean François Millet, France (1814-1875), Peasants Going to Work, 1863, etching, 15"H x 12"W(sight), 21"H x 17"W(frame)
Est: $800 - $1,200
Jean François Millet France, (1814-1875) Peasants Going to Work, 1863 etching Catalogue raisonné: D 19. Millet's largest print. Strong and crisp impression. The circular mark upper left indicates a canceled plate. Biography from the Archives of askART Jean Francois Millet was what Gustave Courbet pretended to be: the son of peasants. Born in 1814, at Gruchy near Cherbourg, he spent most of his life in rural France. He received his first instruction in art from Langlois at Cherbourg in 1832. His aptitude was so obvious that he was granted a pension by the Municipal Council to enable him to study art in Paris. In 1837, he joined the Parisian studio of Delaroche where Diaz and Rousseau were his fellow pupils. He first exhibited at the Salon in 1840. He was able to perceive the land and the labor it exacted from men as substance and process, not as a sight for city-dwelling impressionists on an outing. For some time he earned a living painting portraits in Cherbourg where he had returned. In 1845 he was in Paris once more; he devoted himself entirely to peasant and figure painting, at which he worked solely from memory. Though he lived to see himself the most famous of the painters who worked at Barbizon, during much of his life he was on the verge of poverty. There were times when Millet and his wife had nothing to eat, but they did make sure that their children did not suffer. As a result of his privation he was subject all his life to fearful headaches and pains in his eyes. But he never complained. Yet Millet painted one of the most popular pictures of the 19th century. Even his most famous canvas he had difficulty selling, but once sold, its rise in value was fantastic. But Millet's faults were made especially conspicuous by the trends of more modern painting. He was a powerful draftsman, but he was indifferent to color; he was a touching poet, but he often became sentimental; he was an admirable humanitarian, but he rarely conveyed his feelings with any charm or beauty of brushwork. Consequently his canvases sank in critical esteem to a point below their real worth. He died at Barbizon surrounded by the life and people he had loved.

JEAN FRANCOIS MILLET (attr. a)
Est: €3,000 - €5,000
(Parigi, 1666 - 1723) Paesaggio Olio su tela, cm 86X119 Questo elegante paesaggio di gusto italianizzante Ã¨ una toccante testimonianza della qualitÃ pittorica di Francisque Millet, realizzata sull'esempio dei paesisti attivi a Roma. Evidenti sono infatti le influenze desunte da Nicolas Poussin (Les Andelys, 1594 ; Roma, 1665) e Jan Frans van Bloemen (Anversa, 1662 ; Roma, 1749), artefici che influenzarono anche il padre dell'artista, Jean FranÃ§ois Millet I. Nel nostro caso Ã¨ sorprendente la luminositÃ cromatica delle stesure, cosÃ¬ come l'attenzione nel descrivere gli aspetti piÃ¹ minuti della natura e del fogliame.

Originario di Anversa, l'artista si trasferisce a Parigi nel 1659 dedicandosi a realizzare raffinati paesaggi ideali. Notevoli affinità stilistiche avvicinano il nostro dipinto ai Paesaggi oggi presso lo Szépmüvészeti Múzeum di Budapest, l'Alte Pinakothek di Monaco di Baviera e la National Gallery di Londra, eseguiti dall'artista nel terzo quarto del Seicento.
