“The Gleaners “ by Jean Francois Millet
It seems that they are picking wheat
Possibly slaves Something is
going on in the background
The textures are well done as well as shading
“Potato Planters” by Jean Francois Millet
Usual setting for one of Millets paintings
Very simple plot, its just 2 farmers planting potatoes
Looks like oil paint
Great textures as well as shading
“Man With a Hoe” by Jean Francois Millet
Set in a field, as usual with something like a camp spot behind him.
Is different because you actually see the mans face.
He looks tired, possibly from hoeing.
Another painting well done with shading and texture.
Jean Francois Millet Seems to have been influenced by the working man, or
women.
Sets her painting as in the mitts of an action, a simple one, however it is like a photograph taken as each person was in the middle of an action.
Seems to have used much oil paint.
Used texture as well as shading and tones to create a more realistic look.
