Biography: Jean-Francois Millet was born in 1814 in Gruchy, Normandy, and died in 1875, aged 60. His parents were peasant farmers. After showing ability and promise, he was encouraged by village priests to further his art education. He first studied under the painters Paul Dumouchel and Lucien-Theophile Langlois in Cherbourg, before moving to Paris to study under Paul Delaroche. In Millet's early career, primarily painting portraits and genre scenes, he struggled to be successful, alternating between Cherbourg, Le Havre, and Paris. In the 1840s, he was amoung a group of artists influenced by the landscapes of John Constable to abandon formalism and return to nature. Other leading Barbizon artists included Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot, Theodore Rousseau, and Charles-Francois Daubigny. In 1849, he settled in Barbizon, France, where he was to create the painting for which he is most famous, The Gleaners in 1853. Millet was influenced by Honore Daumier and influenced Vincent Van Gogh. Check out our
