Jean-Francois Millet And The Barbizon School (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162954479)

""Jean-Francois Millet And The Barbizon School"" is a book written by Arthur Tomson that explores the life and work of the French painter Jean-Francois Millet and his influence on the Barbizon School of painters. Millet was a prominent figure in the 19th century art scene and was known for his realistic depictions of rural life and landscapes. The Barbizon School was a group of artists who were inspired by Millet's work and sought to capture the beauty of nature and the simplicity of rural life in their own paintings. The book provides a detailed biography of Millet, tracing his early life, his artistic training, and his rise to fame as a painter. It also examines the social and cultural context in which Millet worked, including the political upheavals of the time and the changing attitudes towards art and artists. In addition to exploring Millet's life and work, the book also delves into the techniques and styles of the Barbizon School painters, including Theodore Rousseau, Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, and Charles-Francois Daubigny. It discusses their use of light, color, and composition to create powerful and evocative paintings that captured the essence of rural life. Overall, ""Jean-Francois Millet And The Barbizon School"" is a comprehensive and engaging exploration of one of the most important periods in French art history. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives and work of some of the most influential painters of the 19th century and sheds light on the social and cultural context that shaped their art.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
