J.F. Millet was a French painter, draftsman and etcher. He is famous primarily as a painter of peasants. Although associated with the Bartizan school, he concentrated on figure painting rather than landscape except during his final years. His scenes of rural society, which nostalgically evoke a lost golden age, are classical in composition but are saturated with realist detail. Millet’s art, rooted in the Normandy of his childhood as well as in Bartizan, is also indebted to the Bible and past masters. His fluctuating critical fortunes reflect the shifting social and aesthetic lenses through which his epic representations of peasants have been viewed. The piece says at the very top of the print PUBLIE' PAR GETTI, 12 RUE GODOT DE MAUROY, PARIS, 1886. There is a signature in pencil at the lower right hand of this piece, but I can't make it out. It is under Millet's name on the print. I am sorry I don't know the name of this piece. It is an older print. It is in good condition. The frame is original the piece is also matted. We have gotten a lot of compliments at the store on this piece since we have brought it in our gallery.
We buy entire estates and pass these savings on to you. Please visit our 2 stores if you get near Atlanta.
Thanks!
