An insightful overview of how Millet influenced and inspired many
modernist artists that followed him Jean-Francois Millet
(1814-1875) was one of the most important artists of the Barbizon
School. Through his publicly exhibited works and their critical
reception, Millet was of crucial significance to modernist
painters. Millet's modernity is evident in his varied subjects-from
peasant themes to landscapes to nudes-and his anti-academic, rough
paint application. He also produced highly inventive pastels and
drawings. Jean-Francois Millet examines the international range of
artists whom he influenced. For instance, Millet was an artistic
hero for Vincent van Gogh, whose treatment of numerous
motifs-including The Sower and Starry Night-was directly inspired
by the older artist. Van Gogh even painted a remarkable series of
21 "copies" after Millet's work while living in the south of France
in the final year of his life. Other artists on whom Millet had a
profound impact include Camille Pissarro, Georges Seurat, Claude
Monet, Edgar Degas, and Winslow Homer, and, in the 20th century,
most notably Edvard Munch and Salvador Dali. Published in
association with the Van Gogh Museum and the Saint Louis Art Museum
