The Gleaners |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| French artist Jean François Millet focused on painting scenes of rural life, a famous example being The Gleaners (1857). His work has ties to the Barbizon school of artists, who aimed to naturalistically depict landscapes. Millet is also considered a member of the 19th-century realism movement because his works generally depict unidealized subjects. | ||||||
