Jean-François Millet (1814-1875) è stato un rappresentante del Realismo e sostenitore e della scuola di Barbizon, un gruppo di pittori di paesaggio. Sebbene suo padre fosse un ricco agricoltore, il giovane artista continuò a lavorare in campagna. Di conseguenza, il suo stile si è evoluto verso la pittura di paesaggio e motivi rurali. Nei suoi dipinti ha ritratto contadini e scene di tutti i giorni nei campi, avvolti da un’atmosfera di calma. Nel 1867 Millet fu nominato Chevalier de la Legion d’Honneur e alla fine degli anni ’60 ricevette il giusto riconoscimento per le sue opere, oltre al meritato successo economico.
